Finishing details of the house continue. Kitchen cabinets are now completely installed, stained, and have the door hung on them; wall baseboard and ceiling trip is being placed; pump house plumbing and exterior is being completed; and the construction of the kitchen island is near completion. Here are a few updated photos:


Above Picture: Entrance to the walk in closet and bathroom from the Master Bedroom both have sliding doors. In this photo, the carpenters are applying the wicker type covering on the insert part of the door. The Mrs actually saw this type of door at one of the hotels we had stayed at and liked it so this was one of her design features inputs. Good choice!


Above Picture: The custom made island for the kitchen is near completion and is seen here drying fron the 1st coat of stain. The island will not be fixed to the floor so we will retain the flexibility to move it around as needed... breakfast table, kitchen preparation counter top, room seperator, and probably most likely, the bar...


Above Picture: Khun added a sink to the Pump House bathroom... don't want any one swimming in the pool without clean hands.


Above Picture: the brick facade on the pool side of the pump house where the shower will be is now completely installed and the pvc piping for the sink on the inside of the pump house is now covered with cement on the exterior. I'm guessing the shower and associated hardware installation is next.


Above Picture: Not gone from the work site but a few weeks and already I have some potential squatter issues that I'll need to contend with.
