Didn't make it.

So,  ..I didn't quite finish before our guests arrived, but I was done by April 16th.
Not bad!

My goal to ignore the double pieces lasted a bit, but in the end I couldn't resist and ended up with a whole bunch of half put together pieces.

And when I was done I still had quite a bit of pieces left over. I decided to keep them until the guest room is empty and I can lay down the whole puzzle again.
For now this is how the boards are stored

And the left over pieces
