Stacking dry stack concrete blocks with decorative concrete acid stain frieze

January 28, 2008



	The concrete stained row acid of blocks called the frieze is being placed on the west side now. The colors are subtle and really look good with the style and color of the house. These blocks have been thru a couple of good rains, so the colors we see will be the permanent ones.


	We are up working on the top floor now and the weather has been glorious. The house is very visible from the road now and we know that thee is a high level of interest in the Villa Lagoon Project by the number of people who have stopped by and the rate at which the informational tri-folds fly out of the box on the driveway. This is what green housing for a hurricane zone looks like.
We will be using Onsia concealed stereo speakers in our upper floor. These cool speakers mount under the surface of the wall so you totally do not see them. We will be using Onsia ceiling speakers and also a very clever In-Frame model that can be installed behind artwork...maybe even a Shrimp Festival poster. Onsia works on the principle of radiating sound through vibration. Our speaker panel creates hundreds of simultaneous, nonlinear vibrations instead of the piston-generated, directional pulses from conventional cone diaphragms.
