Progress Report #5

We are almost done. Only about two more weeks of this and that. The only thing left is to dress plumbing, install carpet, and paint trim. Oh and fix all the little things that are left hanging . . . that's the worst part because I feel like we have to put up a fight to get those things changed. Here's more pictures:

Still waiting for the trims and columns to be painted.

Finished Stair Railing

Cabinets--still a work in progress. The fridge is not blue; it has a protective covering on it.

Progress Report #4

1. Our cabinets are out of customs and supposed to be installed today.
2. Our builder surely hates us by now.
3. Diego proves there are always ways to be more of a perfectionist.
4. I am hoping I survive this project without an ulcer.

Paint colors--as much as you can really tell through a computer screen.

Exterior updates: upstairs trimming complete, porch fans, porch lights, door stained.

Porch Fans

Fireplace, recessed lights, and in-ceiling speakers for the ginormous TV that Diego bought.

My chandelier (hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name), stained railing, stained door.

Progress Report #3

My cabinets are stuck in customs. Who's ever heard of cabinets being made overseas? I certainly hadn't. For now we are continuing to do what we can without them and hope that they get released soon.

Exterior painted. Trims still incomplete.

Progress Report #2

Wow, I just wrote a whole page about what a tough week it was last week and then I accidentally erased it. Well, it just goes to show you . . . . I don't know what but it seems fitting.

Here's a few pictures that we took last night.

Exterior--they aren't done with the trimming and it still needs to be painted

Pictures of the House

I offer here, pictures, as proof that we really are building aforementioned house. Although, really, I just wanted to use the word, "aforementioned." These are pictures of only the exterior. Pictures of the interior will come when it looks more interesting. Right now, I can't seem to take interior pictures that look like anything but wood and wires.
