Picture log of the construction of my Pagosa Springs home

I designed the house in May and June 2009. The Property Owners permit was sumittted 6/19 and approved 6/30. I waited until the county passed a stimulus and started to give away free building permits to submit mine, 7/8/09. The permit was approved 7/20. Here is a picture chronology of the construction progress.
