Showers time, boy!

This week is not as dramatic but it really is pretty!

The tile work is 98 percent complete. You can see the little inlet and the tile 3/4 of the way up. A nice touch is the framing around the glass block window. The window is to the interior part of the house.






The Mid shot here you can see all the walls and the little rack to put your coffee on while you shower.






The floor is complete too. With the tile design was changed when the floor drain had to off-center. Tim the tile guy came up with this random design. He smashed the tiles and made this fit. Pretty neat stuff.


Next up?" We are waiting for the windows to be delivered, maybe two weeks. So we will be painting the walls the next two weeks. Stop by and we might share some pictures

There's tile on dem floors!

This week it is the tile guys making a starring role in our house. More on that, but to the left you see the glass block wall has been built. It is on the wall in the shower between the bathroom and the bedroom. This will help to determine if someone is in the shower. If they are, you can stay in bed just a little longer.

The other benefit is it allows sunlight from the other side where most of the windows exist.

You can also see that the mud and tape guys have finished their sanding work, but then again you really have to be looking for it.

So here are the tiles on the bathroom floor. You can see the blue tape has prevented us from walking on the freshly lain floor. It is actually very tough and sticky - the tape not the floor.

The shower walls and are in and floor of the shower base is completed. I had to lean over the security tape to take this picture so it is not quite perfect. You can see the little spot for all of Kathy's product stuff. The floor will be scattered pattern thing that we spent hours designing. Ok maybe a couple of minutes, but it was really interesting to do at 11:00 at night. Which is when both of us were operating on fumes.

Up next, more tile, new windows and putting primer on the walls!

The messy parts are nearly done....

As we head to the final strech of the big parts we have some decisions made about the rest of the project. We received good news on the floor. The testing on the materials turned up negative for Abestos, so we are looking at getting the flooring people to come in after this done to restore the fir floors.




The dry wall has arrived and is nearly completly up. This will be a picture intensive post. I will make most of them small but you can click on them and they open up to a large picture.

The first picture is from the stairs landing looking into the new development. The wall on the left is where the chimney used to be and where a new closet has formed.

In this picture is from where the bedroom is looking back to the landing on the stairs. You can see the common lamp and pile of drywall pieces as a referrence.






In this picture you can see the other new closets from the other corner of the bedroom. The ceileing shows where the numerous lights will be placed.









The bathroom is taking shape, as well. The shower and closets are framed up. In these pictures you can see where those things that make a bathroom useable are showing up.
