So Close......but not yet done!

We last left off at the sewer line going in, so a few shots here to show how much fun that was to live with for a few weeks!

But, then, it all started to feel SO MUCH better, as the Port-a-Potty that had been a fixture in our front yard for 11 months FINALLY went away for good!  I'm sure the neighbors appreciate that!

&, then the Dumpster, too, went away - YAY!!!!

& Since the bathroom is now mostly done, we start hanging art in our Hawaiian Velvet Elvis Bathroom....

And then the booze has started to go into the Bar!!

& The shelf lighting is in, too (which I had to re-do after the electrician screwed it up....ugh)

Our contractors said they would be done end of last week.  Now it's end of this week.  Not holding my breath, but we're close!

And - we'll finally be able to pour the bar top once they are OUT!  That will be the very last step of construction.

Before & After Pix!

Aloha!

HGTV recently asked for Before/After pictures as something they can include in their edit, so I took some new picture, mixed in with old ones from similar angles & wanted to share here, too :)

So here are a few side-by-sides for your viewing pleasure!

Starting to wind things down.........sort of

So....the bathroom is starting to actually look like a bathroom!

But - no - the toilet isn't hooked up - that was just for TV....we have to put a regular white low flow one in for inspection - then the PINK one will be back!

& FABULOUS real giant clam shell sink!

& the bar sink is in - not operational, yet, but IN!

& we got some more stuff hung this weekend.....starting to look more like a tiki bar....

Oh - yeah, and they started digging the line to the sewer today, too - we should have water by early next week, I think!

Oh My!!! What a Day!!!

HGTV was with us this week on Wednesday & boy oh buy what a day!!!  Fabulous, but completely exhausting! (I cannot show any of the HGTV people or stuff like that for confidentiality reasons, but here's some of what was going on all day......LOTS!)

3 Electricians on hand to get our 52 (!!!) light fixtures hung in time for the party the same night....

& Our PINK toilet finally sees the light of day!!!

& the raising of our MEGA HEAVY 10' Tiki.

This tiki originally stood in the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago outside of the Trader Vic's restaurant.

An update on the progress of the light fixtures.....

Menehune throws in the towel - yawning to show we've tuckered her out for the day:

Then - it's time for a Wednesday night Tiki Party!!
