Exterior coating is going on

 The men who are placing the outer EIF (stucco-like material) have started their work.  They have already put down a grey base coat over much of the building and will follow this with a brick red (red clay) textured surface.  They also have carved out foam details for the window fenestrations.

 Michelle took this while standing on the roof.  She climbed up the scaffolding to get this shot.  She's very proud of this.

On an interesting note, a local construction blogger / sustainability expert published a post about our house.  His block is called "Art of Construction" and his post is from January 23rd.  It can be found here: http://riles-files.blogspot.com/2013/01/passive-house.html
