Countertops...

(A little note: You may notice that pictures are taking longer to load than in the past -- I bought a new digital camera recently which has higher resolution than my old camera. The .jpg files are about three time larger than the older pictures. I apologize if you are on dial-up.)

More progress indoors and the exterior color coat is applied!

Here is the final coat of stucco. It looks a little splotchy because it was still drying when I took this picture. They were also painting indoors which is why you can see paper taped to the windows.

This is a picture of the master bathroom shower being tiled.

The kitchen cabinetry has countertops! This is called Staron, which is like Corian, fake granite.

And this is the tiled part of the guest bathroom.

That's it for now. We understand that the flooring tile is going in this week, which will cover the entire entry, kitchen and part of the great room (in front of the sliding glass door). You will be able to walk in the front door and go all the way out the back door without leaving tile.

That kitchen is something else. Mom and I can sit at the little counter and watch Donna make magic (like how I leave all the work to Donna? Hey, we'll applaud. That can be hard on the arm muscles).
