Finally!  The large elf tower in the front garden is finished!  Well, there are a few touch-ups and nothing’s ever finished but construction is completed and it’s ready for move-in!  The tower is 8′4″ tall, the top two feet of that is the, uh, extended roof, elf style.

It’s been in the works for over a year, Ricki poured a solid concrete footer and built the basic box from 2×4’s, then wrapped with metal lathe.  And that’s what’s been in the front yard since then while I had started sculpting work on the penthouse floor, windows, doors and details.  Seeing come together like this is wonder-full and we had a great time working on the final phase together, applying all the details with stucco.
