your house is beautiful! I love the cabinets. How many sq. ft is your house?

Well it'a about time. I was getting ready to send out an APB for you. Been thinking about you and wondering why we hadn't heard from you. Glad to see the progress.

Done in a month, dang, you see you're going to beat me anyway. LOL We will be in January or February. No, I won't believe it till I'm actually in.

Thanks, tnhousewife05...I was a little hesitant to post the cab photo just because I don't think it does it justice (at this stage, all the doors are off and it's not really "presentable"). Once they're glazed and lacquered and the doors & drawers are put back, the cabs will photograph a lot better! :) Our house is ~8,000 sq. ft. of conditioned living area, plus we have a lot of outdoor living space and garage space (I think around 14,000 under roof???)

Oh, brutuses, how sweet of you! :) I've had a difficult year, but things are better now and "somewhat" back to normal...or at least as normal as can be when building a home. We're doing our best to finish up in the next month, but like I said, we'll see! I'm just so excited to see my bathrooms getting tiled and the kitchen cabinets getting done...light fixtures and flooring will also be fun to see going in. So, you don't think you'll be done this year? Looking at your photos, it definitely does seem feasible. Of course, if there's no need to rush (like us), all the better. :)

Leilani, we could be in at the end of the year, but it would be a rush because after we finish the house we have to go outside and get that ready for the the animals. You know I do animal rescue work so I have some cats who live outside. We have to finish the inside of their half of the double garage with special materials to suit them, then we have to build what we call their rec room that will be built on to the back of the garage. It's essentially a wire enclosure with a solid roof with shelves, litter boxes, etc. Somewhere they can hang out when they want to be outside, but protected from the weather. We have to screen in half of the back porch so we can enter and exit without having to worry about who is running in or out the house. Then we have to install the fencing around the entire yard (thank goodness it's not too big) and a special escape proof aparatus to the top of the fence.

So we essentially have to finish one house and go outside and finish another.

I can't wait to see more photo's of your interior. My DH just has a couple of more floors to do, the master bath tile and installations and last, but not least, the transformation of my antique dresser into my guest bath vanity. Of course there are the little things like closet shelving and touch ups here and there. Those little things will be a breeze.

I'm having trouble realizing we are actually going to live in the house. LOL It's been so long building, I sometimes thought it wouldn't ever happen.
