Wires everywhere...

Roop's team has been busy - from day one in making sure we had the right holes in our foundations to running a mile of wire for sockets, cieling mounts, switches and pot lights. Also needed a sub panel in the kids area.

Just hope we find them all once the insulation and the drywall are in place.

Time for an update

Tanya here.

Mom & Dad have been so busy this past month that they haven't had time to blog the hundreds of photos detailing the progress that's being made on the house. By the time they get home, they're exhausted from days packed with physical labour and endless decision-making.

I wish we could be of more use (Muniz is still working all week, and Sheliza and I try to make some small contributions, but mostly we try to stay out of the way...)

Now, I certainly can't tell the story of the house the way Mom & Dad can, but I can bring you up to speed on some of the progress that's been made.

Our house now has:
many doors & windows
a complete roof
exterior papering
electricity and wiring
some of its plumbing
bathtubs
concrete floors covering radiant heat pipes
ducting for air conditioning

We have more or less selected:
flooring,
taps, sinks, toilets
cabinetry

Oh, and Sheliza's contribution:
we are growing some fine pumpkins in the back yard. The plant is twice her size!

Here's what the house looked like today. I'm sure Dad will get around to giving you more details when he has a spare minute...
