Congratulations, Ruth & Ron! It's coming together nicely. I like the covered area beside the pool. It's nice to be able to get out of the sun without going inside.

Thanks for posting these pics and sharing a little part of STJ for those of us with no ticker. Looks so lovely and I agree with everyone about the stonework - its beautiful and gotta have it on STJ. The landscaping looks nice too.
I don't have good interior decorating skills, so picking furniture for me is HARD and stressful. Best wishes with that!

Beautiful, Ruth!!! Will this be your home, or will you be renting it out? You must be so excited!

I love it! Great job Ron and Ruth! I'd love to see it in person someday!!

Your "Gratefull Shed" looks fantastic. I too like the stonework but also the light colours in- and outside.

Totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, totally, awesome!!! It is perfect and looks exactly like I would want mine to look like!!!

Very nice. Is this your house (to live in) or a house that you will rent out?

I can't believe port-o-potties are $400 on STJ!

Thanks, everyone!

In answer to those who inquired, we are going to be renting short-term. Hopefully not forever (maybe for just a few years), and hopefully furnished!

Next question: will it have furniture by mid-October? I still haven't found a villa that suits my fancy

Such nice work Ruth and Ron - we know how much time and love was put into this - what an accomplishment! Can't wait to see it finished in real life some day very soon!

There might actually be a beach day in Ron's future!!

And furniture, shmurniture, I'd sleep on the floor!
