Except for paint the exterior is finished

Except for painting the south wall & painting around the front door and window/door trim, the outside of our Irish cottage is finished. Ben finished up the stucco trim on the front door this morning and it looks GREAT (click on the picture to enlarge it):He also made some good progress finishing sheet rock in the master bath and the hall:Rather than show you the open plumbing wall again (Howell has to come back tomorrow because he bought a defective part at the plumbing supply and it has to be replaced), I decided to show you a VERY RARE ONE OF A KIND photograph of a plumber in a tuxedo (Howell and his wife Sharon attended a black tie event at St Andrews Sewanee School where he works. Black tie was optional but he and Sharon dressed to the nines and attended... don't they look great!?):Alexis' garden and hanging tomato continue to look healthy, to wit:Here's hoping we can drop the per tomato cost this year from $57.13/each down to somewhere in the $10/each range (Alexis doesn't like for me to tease her about her garden but I can't help my celibate self).
