Quick August Report of House on the Hill Progress

This is a picture run through of what our house looked like at the end of August. I'll try to point out some of the things we have changed. In case you are wondering, we did move into this house already, so more pics to come in the future, but we are still working on getting the kitchen built, boxes unpacked and things put away. It's super fun living in a construction zone...in Panama...with 5 children...who you homeschool. 

This is the current kitchen/future homeschool and crafting room.

 Here is he ceiling in this room - they're putting up sheetrock and putting windows in the little lookout area (that's green in this pic).

 The part that will have the windows where the light is hanging just got cut out and windows will be installed. This is the glassed in room that will eventually be the kitchen, living and dining room.

 A view of the hallway where there used to be a wall leading to the current kitchen.

 These are the metal doors we had installed to separate the glass room from the rest of the house. We can secure that side of the house whenever we need to because these doors lock. Ben designed them and we had them built.

 Here is the outside from the covered pavilion. We are making the walkway into a part of the driveway that we can drive over (eventually). The roof is also currently green, but the plan is to paint it red to match the other houses in the neighborhood.

 Here is the wall that is being built and where the fridge will go in the glassed in room.

 Yes, many boxes and lots of random stuff in the house during all phases of construction!

 Here is the mostly finished sheetrock in E's room that is off of the current kitchen.

 Putting stone on the column to match the other side of the room. Lots of work going on.

 Always a mess. This was the rock for the column, chipping up the red tile (that was in the hallway only). So when we took out the wall, there was gray tile right up next to red tile, so we tore out the red and replaced it with matching gray throughout.

 The fridge wall is finished. There will be a cabinet there as well.

 The finished stairs going down to the current kitchen. Red steps with gray tile on the bottom part. Ties it all together (the glassed in room is all red tile).

 E's bedroom walls are painted this blue color which looks nice and she likes.

And to end, two sweet brothers. The bigger one is pushing the smaller one on the swing. So nice to see they can get along sometimes!! ;)
