Final pics


Here are some pics of the finished exterior and kitchen.

New paint, windows, roof and gutters made a huge difference to the outside of the house.

In the kitchen pics the slate backsplash hasn't been grouted yet, though we've now finished it.

4 Weeks before finishing


These pictures represent progress from around June 12th.
