Time is Ticking!!

My new date of mid-June is here and the house is STILL NOT READY!!! I am past the point of frustration!!! We have hired a guy that actually knows what he's doing and LOVES to work...Imagine that!!!! He has busted it...the Mud room got the new lights, drywall coming up (would have been done, however, the idiots that did our house did that house and so most of the time is spent redoing the screwup from them)...
All the medal flashing is up around the house....I painted the trim in the front...Got too hot and needed to wait until it got cooler to finish....so, I decided to try something to the front brick..The house is painted yellow and just needed some color so I thought I would paint the window frame black and even went so far as to paint the window panes trim black...YUCK!!! It looked like a rebellious teenagers room...so I had to paint over that and thought I would paint it white...That didn't look good either, so now it's gonna have to go back to yellow.... Took the shutters off the middle part of the house to see what that would look like, and I don't like that either.....so, now I have to paint yet again....yellow trim, and put the shutters back on....
I painted the door black....That looks good....Now the next thing is landscape and that will really make the house look better from the outside....Curb appeal...that's what gets them in the door.

Tomorrow, I will go back over and stain the kitchen cabinets so that we can get those installed.....

I'm trying to stay positive, however, I am tired...tired of this consuming my summer....the boys summer... however, if we don't sell this house....we are in big trouble....
