Patience is the name of the game right now.  After seeing the quick progress of our house going up, it has slowed down considerably when we got to the interior, but, details do take time.   The time is paying off though as our cabinet guru, Gabino, is doing a fabulous job of all of the cabinetry & molding.  There is a lot of wood going in this house!

May 1st, 2012: What a difference a month makes!

It's been about 1 month since I last updated (sorry...school & track has taken priority).  A lot has been going on on the house build.  All the electrical work is done, the plumbing is finished, and all the drywall is hung & is now getting a few layers of plaster/mud.

I'll try not to let too much time go by without updating.  From here we now start making some big decisions on the interior...my head is spinning just thinking about everything we have to pick out. Wish us luck!
