House Progress

The house is such a big project that it deserves a post of it's own.   It is looking great.  It started off with a bang - demolition, framing, roof, windows then nothing...or so it appears.  The first bit of work yielded so much to see.  Now they are working on HVAC, plumbing and electrical which of course we don't really "see" so if feels like we're at a stand still.  We did get the fireplace installed this week which is obviously a must in Houston.  We're still on schedule though so hopefully it will be ready to move in by mid/late June.  Here are lots of pictures:

Downstairs guest bath.

View from the front sitting room into the back of the house.  Yes, that is a toilet in the dinning room. 

Former study, future guest room and eventually Avery's room.
