The siding has begun to go up and we are very pleased with how it is looking so far. The insulation guys start tomorrow and then drywalling should start some time next week. It's starting to come together nicely. Hopefully in 3 months we'll be in the house and can give all our attention to our growing family.

Here's a series of videos of the house. I can't download a video much more than a minute long so these may seem rushed.

Not a whole lot to show with pictures, but a lot is being done. The plumbing and heating are progressing with the electrical set to start later this week. Lights have been set up inside, so we can finally go to the house on a weekday without having to worry about interupting the work. We also still haven't passed court in Ethiopia. We're trying to wait patiently which is a lot easier said than done. The third and final bathtub is in - this one in the basement
The framing in the basement is being finished. Here you can see the final wall in the guest bedroom has been added.


The exterior at night with the lights on. Light haven't been brought upstairs so that remained dark.
