    I'll be following along too. This looks to be a pretty awesome custom setup. Where in the bay area are you? That house looks pretty different than anything I've seen in the city.

    We're actually going to be in the Berkeley/Oakland Hills area. Behind where I took the photo is this view:

    Bay Bridge on the left, downtown San Fran behind it, Golden Gate to the right then Marin on the far right.

    Can't wait to see this finished myself.

    Welcome to the bay area as well! I live up in Sonoma County. If you ever want to check out Safari West I'm your guy.

    That's a great view. I guess you'll have a great view inside and outside of your house. I can picture that interior design a lot more in the hills of Berkeley or Oakland than SF :) thanks for indulging my curiosity. I lived in the city for about 4 years and that's everywhere from downtown to the sunset. I've lived around the bay area my whole life so I'm always a little curious where people are when they just say "Bay Area" ;)

    All funds are in and we've closed on the house! We start to move in tomorrow.

    I'll get some pics of the filter room as well as the plans of the house up probably over the weekend to show where everything is going.
