It's fall. Time to go swimming!

      So we are now half way through September, which means that summer is coming to an end and most folks are thinking about pulling out the winter clothes. Not.
      We're thinking about filling the pool. The tile man has been busy making his magic. The knife edge is being refined and we're almost ready to plaster the whole pool. If we can pick out a plaster color. Much debate. Blue, green, white, grey? Pebble, quartz, smooth finish? After looking at tons of photos on the internet we're in visual overload. Mr. Pool-man, send us some samples please.

























       Inside the house the work is moving at breakneck speed. The washer and dryer showed up. Tile is climbing the bathroom walls. Closets are being installed. All the floors are finished and base-board tile is starting to run around the rooms. Door knobs? Who has the door knobs?






















      Even the kitchen cabinets have been delivered. But where to put them? How about a big pile in the middle of the great room? Where's my screwdriver? Oh, it's somewhere under there. Now, do the door pulls go horizontally or vertically? Hey, where are the counter-tops? Still in Florida?



























      Back outside, the stucco guys are working their way around the house. They may have the whole first floor finished this week. We are anxious to see the darker color applied downstairs. How about a sunset reflection in the windows. Nice. Let's order some outdoor furniture shall we?



























                           Turn around and there's the 'ol sunset again. We never get tired of it.

  1. That reflection of the sunset is stunning! You guys definitely chose a great house to build your home. Anyway, sticking with stucco for your exterior walls is a good choice in this regard, as you could play around on what it should look like as it is easily customizable. Keep us posted on your updates!
