Almost. Done.

Electrician and plumber got their work done last week, except for some minor things. We are looking forward to seeing the hickory hardwood floor and carpet installed this week and next; as well as the mesquite mantle and corbels.

The house is looking great! Since there'll be a lot of pictures to post, I created a photo album on Flickr. Just click on the link below:

Pictures: Balusters, Balcony, B's Home Office

Hello again. Here are some random pictures I took. The first one is taken from the family room, looking up. The second photo is our unfinished balcony in the second floor - the iron rails haven't been installed yet, and the tile used is Indian slate. The third photo shows B's home office.

Pictures: Unfinished Kitchen & Bathrooms

As of this writing, most of the tile floors are done (they started on Saturday) - though they haven't finished grouting yet. The cultured marble tops in the Little Man's bathroom as well as in the pool bath have been installed.

Here are some pictures I took this evening:

A Few Pictures

Building a custom house is not always fun... we had (and still have) our fair share of frustrations. :(

On a positive note, we've seen much progress since last week. All cabinets are in. They finished painting the interior, the wood stairs have been stained. The countertops will follow soon.

Here are a few pictures I took today. First photo shows the stairs and the front door. The next one is the master bedroom ceiling (the dining room has the same type of ceiling). And the last photo shows the fireplace as seen from upstairs.
