We're making progress

Here's a view of the kid's bathroom
The kid's bathroom as well
This is standing in the kitchen looking towards the family room (notice the absence of the hole in the floor)
Here's a view of the marble tile going on the counter tops in the kitchen and master bath
Here's a shot of the primed walls in the office
Pretty paint in the master bath (rowboat)
Another shot of the master bath
Here's the primed walls in the formal living room
This is a much better shot of what the color really looks like...
New cement poured in the back yard and catch basins (under the gravel)
More new cement and a wall with privacy fence (the starts of it, anyway!)
New cement pad to the right of the front door

Alright then..it looks like we've progressed enough to post some new pictures of the progress on our new house!=0) The backyard is essentially done enough (except landscaping and what not) that we won't have to worry about water getting to the foundation any longer. That means no sinking in the corners! There's been some painting progress as well.=0) We had the walls skim coated to look like plaster (and not be plaster!) to warm up the public spaces in the house and to be easy to correct any blemishes in the walls. I know a few of the pictures look really orange, but it's more a golden color (the sun was going down and we some have of the electricity turned off) the effect is a really warm and inviting space...and all the pictures with the yellow/orange walls are the same color, it's all in the lighting! =0) I love the color in the master bath! Serenity at it's best...and the master bedroom will be a similar color as well. The kid's bathroom looks like a toothpaste blue in the pics, but is really robin's egg blue (I promise!) and it looks great! Let me tell you how much I love the tile for the counter tops in the kitchen...it's great! The best thing is we got enough of it to tile kitchen counters and the master bath counter for $200 dollars out of the clearance bin at Lowe's! Can't beat that I say! Should be just a couple of weeks left to go and we can start the process of moving (eek!). The rest of the walls need to be painted, the flooring needs to be put down, the counters tiled, appliances brought in and, and, and...=0)
