Day #108 - Lots Going On!

I spent the last week in Scottsdale, AZ celebrating Thanksgiving with family returning last night.  I was excited to go to the house this morning to see what has happened in my absence.  It was amazing to see what all had transpired.

By the end of the day today the drywall was textured.  All that remains is to let it dry before paint.

The photo is not the greatest as everything is monochrome, but the drywall looks super!  The texturing will add a subtle dimension once the paint goes on.  This photo was taken from the kitchen, and the flat ceiling in the foreground is the kitchen ceiling.

Lots is going on outside the house also.  All the concrete has been poured and stained where appropriate.  The guys from Harmony Gardens have installed a French drain that will drain water from behind the retaining wall, and they have started the water feature.  We walked the lot and determined where the three raised beds will go.  Alan and I met this morning, and I picked out the colors for the gutters and downspouts.

Everything is coming together nicely!
