7/14: Looking like a house. Way more to do, though.
8/19: Some landscaping, some inside work (and more), and this is done.
9/24: Pretty much done outside.
11/1: In danger of stalling in the details.
5/3/02: Done, and moved in months ago.

(For those who think I'll never learn about construction projects, -- get a hobby or something.)
