I know I said it was done, but...

...is a new house ever done??? In fact, there was still someone here today. Yep, ongoing construction, fixing things, landscaping, etc. The roofs got planted, the louvers went in and we finally got a dining room fixture. Here are a few pics:

West side louvers. They work extremely well on hot, sunny days. We just need some more of those days so I can use them.

South side louvers. 3 panels that move.

The house is complete!

We are moved in! The day I returned from Europe, it was game on! 3 days and the move was complete, thanks to all of the hard work Tim had done while I was gone. We slept at the house for the first time on Sunday, February 8th, after a relaxing weekend at the cabin, recovering from the numerous trips up and down the stairs at the condo. The reality has still not sunk in and there are still workers in and out working on last minute details. We are not fully unpacked or settled, but I have been asked for pictures. I have not taken any, but here is a link to the architects professional completion photos. They are quite spectacular! Enjoy.

Update from Belgium via Corey.

Corey sent me some updated pictures today. Tim was at the house Monday. He said he had a hard time leaving. Well, soon he won't have to, because we will live there. It is hard to believe.

The hood over the stove is new. Hadn't seen that. Very cool.

Fancy new appliances.


Glass doors on built in shelf.


Indoor/outdoor bench.

The found a shower rod thingy.

Fancy wood floor shower in master bath.


The subtle light fixture above vanity.

My fold out shelf to fold clothes in master closet.

Benches for sauna are in.

Landscaping is gradually getting done.

In the front too!

Pictures I never did post.

Sometime during the snowy season in Portland, my new neighbors and friends, Julia and Dean, took some pictures for me. I am still waiting for an update from Corey. Final done date is 17th of January, I think. I can hardly believe when I get home, I am moving in. Yikes.

I get to wash dishes in this sink...



and cook Timmy nice meals in this kitchen...



and light him a nice fire with the flick of a switch...
