The awnings above the upstairs windows, porch on the front of the house and a porch floor all the way around the house are the newbies since we started the big push to get the house done to sell.When the girls were little we read a book that told about what houses are called for different animals; a hive is a house for bees, a den is a house for bears, etc. Then half way through the book it got silly and started naming houses for all different kinds of objects...a cracker box is a house for crackers, a shoe is a house for feet, etc. Finally at the end of the book it comes full circle and applies it to people...and a house is a house for ME.
Here is a wee bit of our house that Ken has been pouring himself into since before we got back from the US so we can get it ready to sell. It isn't quite done...the finish work seems to take FOREVER, but we keep plugging away.
PAINT!!!! Oops...two shades of blue? Good thing it was BEFORE the second coat. 
The stairway going up to the 1st floor. Steps aren't finished yet, but the plaster trim is done and the walls painted downstairs.
Ken's dad, Joe, pitched in to help get ready for our ALPHA staff Christmas party by painting some in the downstairs.
Every year we have a staff get-together the day after school gets out. This year it was at our old house. There might not be another oportunity to have it here ever again, so we poured ourselves into getting the place fairly presentable for this event.
Wiring for electricity wasn't quite done, so Ron strung up enough Christmas lights inside the house to light up the whole place. The girls were extremely impressed!
My happy helpers. All that plaster, sanding and painting makes for a tremendous amount of dust.
Glad to be of service!
