Finally, an update but less progress than you might think....

OK, so since the last time I updated the blog, all the kitchen cabinets were taken out and replaced.  Then the granite was installed and then it all had to come out and get replaced...  What a pain in the arse.  This has been a bloody nightmare but yes, I still do believe it will be worth it in the end.  The end by the way is supposed to be Sept 14 (which was an extension from Aug 30th).  Judging by the lack of progress I'll be surprised if it is done on time but I guess we'll see.  I definitely don't fell like being flexible, given all the crap....  Here are some pics from today:

Bar grass this is looking pretty much like the finished product.  The shutters just got painted and there was a load of dirt added to to the front.  Suspect the landscaping will be done soon. 

We're delighted with the way the colors have worked out.  The shutters really tie everything together nicely.  

Got the railing on the front porch.

The roof of the proch still needs to be stained and finished off.

Holes are for the MW, oven and fridge.

They have not cut out the hole for the stove yet.

Stove and oven are laying in the breakfast nook (since the last set of granite came out).

Master bath.  New stone here too, looks much better cut than the last one.

Apparently there is something wrong with the frame and its going to be re-done....

Two shower heads (casue we're so stinky)

Concrete, paint and more...Back porch. Its made of stamped concrete

If you look carefully you can see where the drive has been sectioned off.  Concrete will be poured soon...

Heres what it looks like right now.  I'm honestly not sure about the stone.  Its growing on me but its definitely more orangeie than I'd expected.
