Dry wall!

 Yes, we have walls up! It's getting more and more exciting! Not sure exactly how much time until we can move in, but hopefully SOON! Now you can see the rooms better. We'll give you a small tour...
 This is a look down the hallway from the loft into our master bedroom. The door on the right is the bathroom. The door on the left is the walk-in closet.
 This is in the bathroom. The vanities are behind me; you're looking down the small hallway to the shower and tub. We actually changed the initial layout to this, after we stood in the "potential" shower and felt it would be too small. The half wall on the left is hiding the shower. Straight ahead is a tub.

 Closer look of the tub. Hard to tell, but there's a walkway between the tub and shower.
 Looking into the shower.
 Standing in the hallway, looking into the bathroom. The double sink vanities will go on the left. The shower/tub walkway is on the right, and so is that water closet- fancy for toilet room!
 Looking down the hallway in the opposite direction- from the bedroom to the loft. The yellow wall is the existing house- on the other side is the existing stairs- when the contractor and builders are ready, they'll tear it down so it all connects. Right now it's our "dust" barrier! So, in case you're like Garrett and get lost easily- the walk-in closet is now on the right and the bathroom on the left.
 Sorry, didn't get a picture after they cleaned up the mess, and it's too dark to go outside right now, but this is half the master bedroom. The four small windows give us a good view of Haleakala. This side is where the bed will be. You can see the ceiling is vaulted.
The other half of the master bedroom. You can sorta see the door on the left from the hallway. The slider doors lead out to our deck.This side of the room we plan to put the tv and a small couch to relax/read/hide from the kids.

 Maui had a lot of rain this past week- enough to cause lots of flash flooding in Kihei. We went out Saturday afternoon. I was trying to catch the sunset and different lighting and when I posted these pics I realized I inadvertently caught the West Maui mountains in two different shots that could be combined! Cool huh! Even though it looks so beautiful, the water was EXTREMELY dirty- like chocolate milk. Not good to swim or play in.
I know, hard to complain when this is what we get to call home. We hope everyone's 2011 is off to a good start!
