  3. I love how you made a list, so important. The pictures are really great, I love the one with wires hanging out of the walls. I have to say the bathroom looks a lot better now. :-)

  4. My goodness! You've built a whole house! lol I have to write down a 'done' list, too, in order to remember all we've done. It's amazing how it adds up, isn't it?
