Almost there...

The last spring inspection deemed the house to be 95% finished. We are working towards the 100% completion. We know the big items to finish are the following:

  • Still two interior doors missing
  • Fixtures in a few rooms
  • Finish siding
  • Porch in front 
  • Ensure back deck is secure (railings etc)
  • Well record
  • Floors/ceiling of second bedroom
  • Tile upstairs bath
And now...6 months in pictures!

There was a honey bee genocide in the garage. :(

It was so sad to see them all wither and die in our sawdust.
It's still a mystery to me whether the sawdust killed them. 

It's funny I look at these pictures now and it's a challenge to see what changed.
I think it's the light ficture in this one!! :)
