Closer still

We were in Hattiesburg most of the day on Friday. The finishing guys were ending their work taping and bedding the sheetrock and applying the texturing. We are putting 'orange peel' texturing on the walls and 'skip trowel' on the ceilings. Evidently skip trowel is the going thing in this area. We weren't that concerned over it - just as long as it was NOT the acoustical 'popcorn' ceilings. Tom and I also were working outside. He was pulling unwanted plants out of the area between our yard and our neighbor's yard. I was standing in the deck area tossing bricks out of it so the ground would be uncluttered when they installed the deck above it. After all, whoever has to crawl around under there for whatever reason doesn't want to have bricks sticking in his back! Ken (the builder) came by and was a bit put out with me for working like that. He said, "I have people I pay to come do this!" Needless to say, I quit and let the hired help take over. Ken must have phoned them immediately because not long after Ken left, a truck with a trash trailer behind drove up and began cleaning up the yard. Here is the result. The pile of brick left in the front will be used to make the front steps.

This shot is taken looking toward the front from the eating area. You see the front door off to the left. Straight ahead, looking through the kitchen, is the computer/office area (which is the dining room on the plans).

This shot is the opposite of the one above. You see the eating area in front of you, the door to the hallway and master bedroom to the left and the back door to the screened porch to the right.

This is taken from the front bedroom looking through to the 2nd guest bedroom in the back. You can see the bathroom door opening down the hall on the right.
