This week was very productive in terms of getting some of the details done on our house. Angela had talked with her brothers to see if they could get one of their brothers-in-law to varnish the ceilings, since that's something her brothers' brothers-in-law do, evidently. So on Saturday morning at 6:30, the painters showed up at our house. But the painters were her brothers.
I like my brothers-in-law very much, which is why I didn't really want them to varnish the ceiling: it's basically just a really tedious, crappy job. But they said they wanted to do it, and they convinced us to let them. And they did a great, efficient job. Here are some pictures of the painting, and some of the other stuff that was done this week:
Angela's brothers and a friend of theirs, hard at work.
Using screws to attach the paintbrushes to a stick?? Dammit, why didn't we think of that?!
Freddy installed some of the outlets.
Me and Angela's room, with the circuit breaker looking like some sort of gutted bionic animal.
The workers also put in these steps in the back...
...and these steps in the front.
The master bathroom, nearing completion.
These guys were good.
Freddy (right) and Carney--yes, I think that's his real name--installing some of the sockets.So, that's it for this week. I'll try to get some more pictures up as soon as possible, since things are advancing so quickly now. Thanks for reading!

I like that the breaker box is in your bedroom. Interesting choice. That way if you through a circuit while in bed, you don't have too far to go.
Your house looks awesome! Congratulations on almost having it finished. By the way, any bathroom worth using down here has floor-to-ceiling tile. Otherwise the mold eats the wall (this way it just eats the ceiling).
Jennifer- Thanks! We're liking it!
Brad- Oh man, that fucking box. I'm gonna write about it soon. Trust me.
