Here we are, five years after beginning and we are almost finished. From the outside, it doesn't look like much has happened. In reality, all of the exterior plaster and paint is done. The most apparent difference is an apron of gravel (actually a dry river) around the entire perimeter of the house. This dry river will channel rain water down the rain chains through the gravel and away to landscaping features that will need supplemental water.
Progress over the years...

By November 2014, we will be full-time Torrey residents. That makes us smile.
