Lamenting about the home build, and pictures save the day!

I have decided to change the blog header back to the view of the Lake from our deck here in Lake Ozark.  This picture really defines our life in the spring and early summer.  It is the time we enjoy here every year.  Once it gets beyond the Fourth of July, the lake becomes 100 degrees of summer heat, and we are looking to escape..

Of course it doesn't help to go back to KC as the heat is just the same there, plus it is a city which holds the heat once the sun goes over the hill.  We need the motorhome to escape during that part of the year.

But for now, looking at that unfinished picture of the Mesa, Az home is just increasing my anxiety about not being out there watching the progress....  But then it is way over 100 degrees now in Arizona, so do we really want to go back now?

Later in the day......

After writing this earlier in the day, the realtor lady must have felt her nose twitch, because she went over and took some more pictures..  But best of all she said they were working on the roof tile!!!  Yea.

The floor tile is done and must have been cleaned because it now shines.  Grouting causes it to be all hazy.

The cabinets are supposed to be fruitwood, but look dark to us.  We are hoping it is just the cell phone camera.

Counter tops are now installed as well, but no plumber since there are no faucets.

We do hope to paint the walls darker once we get possession.  They seem stark white in these photos.

As I notice in the picture below, the electrical wall plates are on and the switches have been mounted.

Again her camera phone is way out of focus, but this vanity is supposed to be taller than older style vanities.

I see that there is a light fixture above the vanity and a plate on the wall to the right of the sink, so the electricians must have been in all the rooms as well.

This is the Jack and Jill bathroom between what would normally be the kids rooms.  We left the vanity lower in here, since kids are usually shorter....  LOL

The tile color is supposed to be a tan, but the picture isn't colored right...  At least we hope so.

Anyway for those that want these pictures when we get them, here they are.  And I will be pleased to see a picture from the outside when the roof is completed.  But the forecast is for 110 degrees in Phoenix today, so I wonder how these fellows can stand to install roof tile..........

This is getting too long so I will stop for now.
