June 23 - Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here is a picture of the finished product. We moved in Weds. June 20 and spent the shortest night of the year in our new bedroom. We are looking forward to a great summer and wish you the same. I think this will be the last post. Hersh

June 3 - Yesterday, I took this picture from the lake. The trim on the house has not been painted yet but here it is!

May 31 - Finishing up... We are clearly in the final phase! Here are some pictures of this week's work. The pictures include kitchen appliances, Mary Anne's washer & dryer (her "office"), the first bathroom fixtures, door handles, and our front entrance. At this time the priority is wrapping it up; no fancy management just DO IT! The remaining big items are exterior (trim) painting and landscaping.

I will post a finished picture from the water in a few weeks. It has been quite an adventure!

May 25 - The goal line is like the horizon: we keep chasing it and it keeps moving away! This week saw more finishing work inside and out. The week's events included burying the propane tank for our generator; pouring the garage floor; installing the well pump; roofing the portico; cleaning up the site; and burying the outdoor wiring! Quite a list! Here are the pictures!

May 18 - Into the clubhouse turn... This week saw continued progress inside our new house! The major items included hardwood flooring, carpeting, tile (turn me sideways!), and cabinets. Everything is turning out BETTER than we expected! Kudos to Mary Anne (award in planning) and to Kevin Drew (award in execution). Here are the usual pictures.... not shown are painting, plumbing and tank deliveries. More on those later. Almost time to call the movers. Stay tuned.

May 11 - Into the home stretch. Progress is now focused on "finishing work". The exterior is 99+ % complete and most effort has moved inside. This week's pictures include the completed deck, the first finish flooring, our backup generator, and the kitchen cabinets. Next week, work will focus on flooring: tile and hardwood on the first two floors and carpet in the 3rd floor playroom. The weather has been spectacular this week and the lake is warming up. We are looking forward to moving in!

May 2 - Special progress report! There is so much going on, I believe a special Wednesday edition is in order! This week has seen big time change in moldings, doors, painting, decking and our spectacular front entrance! Here is the evidence. Stay tuned!

(Special to Kevin: We like that entrance!)
