Mid-October

The kitchen is starting to go in!  We're so excited to use this room soon - I imagine us all standing around the island, chatting it up and enjoying time together...

Outside, the temperatures are getting cold again, but they're working hard - here they're laying pavers around the house and pool...

And the old barbed-wire fence is gone, getting ready for the new entrance gate...

September/October

Things feel like they're moving fast - we've got hardwood floors being installed throughout the house, starting from the top floor and moving down...

The stairs in the cottage - also made from the brewery wood - are looking nice!

And upstairs in the cottage looks so tranquil, we might want to live here instead...

 They have to build a retaining wall here, since we're closely bordering the neighboring property...

Cottage still looks cute!

Front door!

This intimidates me...

Not our bathroom, but this would be nice...

Don't leave, warm weather!

Probably most exciting for us while we were away this summer, was to receive pictures of the progress on the pool!  A lot happened in those few weeks...

Oh yeah!  I don't think we'll get to use it this year, but we'll be ready for some great pool parties next summer!

Progress

Summer Work

We were gone for several weeks this summer from Prague, but our great project manager sent us pictures on a regular basis.  The outside plaster continued to be a massive project.

Inside there was a lot of tiling to do in the bathrooms...

 And the cottage has upstairs rooms and walls now...
