Hot Fun in the Summertime

I haven't updated in a while because things over here have been pretty hectic lately. The pressure is on and we are definitely feeling it. We are also feeling this hot, hot, hot North Carolina heat- almost 100 degrees yesterday. Greg's working non-stop 12 hour days trying to finish by the end of July. Everyday we cross something off our long list of things to do...I think it's getting shorter.

Thanks to some great help along the way, we are making some progress. Finishing the walls with subway tile in the guest bath is all that's left of tiling. Jay Brown is cutting some mighty fine lines while painting the inside. Fans and lights are going in right now thanks to Dave Wilson. Greg is building our kitchen cabinets and just finished the columns on the front porch. Greg's dad also came up and helped us finish the porch ceilings.

Here are some random photos taken over the past few weeks.

The front porch columns are finished- what a difference.

G building our kitchen cabinets. We ordered our soapstone countertops yesterday which Greg is going to cut to fit.

Some video footage of the guys hauling the very heavy tub upstairs.
