Looking less like a construction zone and more like a home!! Well, except that's only true from the north side of the house. The south side has the crater around the window well (see today's earlier post) but from this carefully chosen angle it looks downright habitable. The huge mounds of dirt have been graded into what looks remarkably like a yard! Brian's meeting with the landscaper tomorrow to talk about hydroseeding the yard - apparently it has better long term results than sod and, happy coincidence, it's cheaper. If we can get it done next week we think we'll be in good shape weather wise for it to 'take' before the long, cold winter sets in. We're just going to cut in beds and mulch for now. Real planting requires a plan and more decisions so it is just simply not happening! I'll curl up in front of our fireplace with a lot of good gardening books over the winter and be ready to go as soon as spring arrives (sometime in June!!)
We have upper and lower cabinets now! The back of the island will be beadboard and there is molding for the top of the cabinets. Feels very much like a kitchen. We had the designer out from Ethan Allen this week and are narrowing down the selections for furniture, fabric and paint colors. 
This was a pretty shocking sight when I came around the corner in the master bath. I can tell you that whatever tile goes up will be a huge improvement over this outrageous pink waterproofing stuff. Yikes. The floors have all been tiled and grouted, just the shower and the fireplace surround to go.
The painters are in doing all the caulking and prep work for the whole house. Then the trim gets painted, so I've got a few days to finalize the wall colors...
