I haven't been here in forever! Life has been so crazy. I thought i would post a few update photos. it seems like the cloer we get, the further away it seems! Painters working now as are the tile guys. Pictures to follow.

OK...now it is time for me to go check up on all of your projects....

Love the house...You must be soooooooo excited!!

Looks fantastic! Bet you can't wait for it to be done!

Hey there, 1coolmom, I was wondering where you were! I know you're getting anxious to move in-it seems like it will never happen! Love your wall colors, btw.....please share what they are-especially that brown! Keep us posted!

Looks great! Love the window seat in the bathroom and the blue wall color.

Wow, your house is looking GORGEOUS! Bet you can't wait to move in!! It must be so much fun to watch the building process :-)

It is looking good.. I know you all are so excited...
Now I want you to get outside and get a little exercise... like you don't have enough to do...

Between you and purplgrl.. I feel like a slug.. but I like that too!!!


It's so much fun to get to watch all the activities...

Wish I could take credit for all the work..I am just choosing stuff and pointing. I do need the exercise though. I did help my hubby with the bb goal though...well, sort of. I held something for him while he tightened a bolt.

It's always important to have family interaction... LOL...

Don't underestimate the imporantce of doing the proper pointing.. our pool is 90* different from what I'd expected... I gave a general point.. & not a directional point... and when I got back from the store dh had the thing dug..( it was his first solo bob cat outing)...So that finger really does have some power!!!

HI Cool mom, I too have been wondering where you were...figured you were up to your eyeballs!

The place looks stupendous...love it all!

Just for you:

Yes, I have learned the hard way that I ned to be VERY specific. I gave the cabinet/trim guy a picture for my fireplace surround....he built it pretty darn close....with one exception....paint grade instead of stain grade. I didn't SAY stain grade even though the photo was stain grade. So, I have a trim colored surround, which is fine for the living room. We are so behind schedule I am not changing it. I can come back later and do that if i don't like it white.

Yea! My band!

I really think they wear you down on purpose.. that way we are more accepting...you just want to get things finished...

I noticed at the beginning a change might take an extra day.. towards the end "that'll delay move in 3 weeks"...over my dead body!!! There are things I still haven't gone back to... but that's ok too...

You'll be able to enjoy your summer there and that's what is important...
