Cathy and Jana making the decisions for furniture.
The floor is stained and has only one more coat. Looking pretty good.
The fireplace is almost finished.
I have finished the cabinet for the Powder Room. I hope it will work okay.
The stain for everything looks pretty good.
The landscaping has started. There will be many loads of rocks and plants. It should be fun to design.
Not a bad look from the kitchen.

Countertops and more.
Installing the steel supports for the countertop.
A cool system for holding the sections together during installation.
It took six guys to lift the largest section of countertop.
The fireplace is finished except for the mortar on the base. The mantle is partly made from the trees from the property.
The stairs are looking good. The columns are being built.
The kitchen countertops are installed.
The view from the kitchen into the living room. The two columns are not going to be kept. They take up too much room.
The progress of the build is going well. We are targeting June 24th for the finish date. We are looking forward to spending time with everyone in the new house.
