The house has been painted, we have begun the grading for the landscaping.  Trenches have been dug for drainage and for electric service to the dock!

The Painters have been here for several weeks, almost done.  The electricians are putting in the fans 

and lights.

A flashback!  this is what the view looked like last year.  The sliding glass door led from the dining room to the Carolina Room.  Next shows the way the view is now--no wall, open to a huge livingroom.  the porch is to the side.

Floors have been refinished.  Cabinets are installed in the kitchen.  We can put furniture in here next week.

Today we had a fun event at the lake. Each year, there is a long distance swim for kids, and a few adults on our lake..  Entertaining, and inspiring.  These kids were swimming 5k's !

Next week--Countertops, sinks, rest of plumbing, painting, kitchen appliances.
