A Quickie

The house is in chaos, we are both exhausted, we have - quite possibly - burned through every friend and family member willing and able to help us out...but we are starting to feel at home!

There is still a list (a short one thank gawd) of unfinished items, which hopefully will be done within the next month. For the most part, given the stress of construction, I was relieved that the "to do" list was so short.

Here are photos of the finished railing on the 2nd floor landing, and a view from the top and bottom of the stairs:

And a couple of shots of the dining room...and the china cabinet around which the entire house was built! No fake, it all started with the china cabinet! Ha ha.

And lest I forget to mention it, take a gander at the mud...the horrible, horrible mud! Thanks goodness for 4x4!
