High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Anrahyah's House, July 21

Downstairs under construction. This will be a separate living space. The orange tubes in the far, lighted room are part of the solar system. They feed tubes in the concrete slab that will cause solar heat to radiate upward through the floor.

Upstairs bathtub, and the solar-heated "warm wall" under construction. What a wintertime experience this will be! The tub is angled for a good view of the jagged Sangre de Cristo Range. It's immediately inside of the upper window visible in the bottom-most photo in this group.



We were bound for the Santa Fe Opera. I left here in midmorning on Friday, July 21 and drove to Crestone to get Anrahyah.

We did a little sweeping up work in her new house. The insulation people are soon coming, and bits of stuff on the floor can end up glued to the floor by insulation overspray. This is so much different from putting bats of insulation in the walls! Insulation is sprayed into those spaces.

The foundation of the service porch has now been poured, and a retaining wall on the downhill end of the house has also been poured. Work is underway inside on the warm walls of her solar heating system
