watching you place the door steps I can’t help but think people building stone houses 400 years ago would have had exactly the same conversations and challenges!

Omg yes, please please please keep that little sink and use it for another project, it’s so adorable. 😍 Also you should keep that stone sink where your outdoor kitchen is, the one with the pizza oven in it, and reuse it as well, it’s so awesome.

@mayafeliz You might consider putting a sealed inspection chamber (or even a siphon trap) in the pipe from the kitchen perhaps in the middle of the ulility floor in place of the 90° bend. You have some tight bends and potential for blockage in that small pipe. This will make it easier to clear.

Usually the stepping stone or the similar ones on windows are installed by sliding them. In order to do so you curve not the stone but the sides of the wall. This also gives gives a better final look and lock the stone in place. Plus it is easier to install.

When working with concrete and stone, try to avoid tight tolerances. With heat, cold and rain, a house, and its floor, will work. 0,5cm each side is the minimum amount of room you need to give yourself. Especially, if you are doing a lot of fresh concrete work. Concrete can pull gaps tight during curing. Keep up the good work, the house is looking so lovely!

considering you're working on the floor in the heat, have you considered adding in floor heating tubes? they can also be used for cooling, and i'm willing to bet the river water is a lot cooler than ambient during the day. while I wouldn't recommend pumping river water directly through your floors, a tube heat exchanger is a very simple and relatively cheap device, as are circulation pumps. condensation might become an issue though, some calculation is required. The river is a great resource for thermal management. addition of a water to water heat pump can make for a very low impact way of heating and cooling, as they can easily deliver 5-10x the electricity input as heating output, so they can run on solar

Maybe you can make a dam in the river between the large rocks? This gives you more depth for swimming. Leave a little space for fish to pass through. It's possible that when the river gets wild the dam will be demolished, but you still got a few months of enjoyment out of it.
