Its been awhile ... Here's a few shots I took around the project yesterday. The biggest accomplishments since last update include getting power hooked up, Flooring in, the kitchen cabinets and countertop and the landscaping/final grading nearly done. I don't have all the backfill right around the foundation done (waiting on HVAC and the septic pump to get wired), but I went ahead with final grading so I could get the grass established before the rains came back. Any damage I do to the lawn when I finally get to do the backfill around the foundation will be simple enough to fix. Watching all my topsoil wash into the pond .... not so much ... frown

The shop! Still pretty much a staging area for building materials. But at least the lights are on.

Heading upstairs -- here's the living room/kitchen area. Flooring is LVP. Counter is butcher block.

East side -- catching the first light of the day. Waiting on the electrician to finish so the stairs can be finished.

The lagoon. I used rocks left over from the landscaping for the seawall. I was thinking a breakwater would be good protection for the lagoon when the typhoons hit.

To the left of the house is the RV parking spot. Full hookups for 1 RV (septic, water, electricity)
