Serious progression ...

We're making progress. Tami's nieces arrive on July 5th from Las Vegas and then her parents fly in on the 7th, so it's a race to the finish! Tiling of kitchen areas, utility rooms, and two bathrooms should take place the first week they're here, but the glass sliding doors have been delayed by the manufacturer by a week, so it's of no surprise we're delayed again. The weather in London has been amazing for the past three weeks with hot (80s) & sunny days. With a new patio and mini-kitchen all ready for our use we can't complain too much because we're just about at the finish line. Enjoy the photos!
