Almost there?

The outside still needs a lot of work.  Our contractor gave us an estimate to put in the driveway that made me want to cry, so we are going to seek other estimates.  Wanna give me an estimate? ;)  So, you probably want to know what the status of the inside is?  Its coming along.  The bathroom tiles are being put in, the floors need to be stained (the sample area looks scary now), the closets need shelves, the kitchen countertop needs to be put on, the plumbing and electrical fixtures need to be installed and the solar system needs to be installed.  (We are looking a solar powered air conditioners.  I'll let you know how tat works on soon.)

 The kitchen cabinets have been installed.  The countertop is on order.  We decided to go for quartz, because it is very strong, heat and stain resistant and requires little maintenance.
 
 The master bathroom is being tiled.

The boys' room.  I drew the waves and have a great idea for a chalkboard. 

The concrete stain sample area is looking really crazy right now.  Did we make the right decision about staining?  Does the contractor know how to apply it?
 
In by November 1st?
