Tile Drama


We love 3 of our 4 types of tile.....the limestone and two types of smooth glass tiles look great....our 1x1 textured tumbled glass tiles are another matter...they were not properly wiped down before the grout hardened....we are now hand scraping thousands of these little things as they are in 5 locations in the 4 bathrooms......we're not so fond of our tile guy any more as he has not stepped up to the plate to take responsibility for dealing with this....

Do you have an hour to spare? We are using old dental tools that our friend John Williams gave us......they work well, but we have LOTS of tile to go over before we can seal it and place our sinks and toilet fixtures. We are so very thankful for our friend Jeff Adams and our neice Chris, they have spent many hours helping us with the tile scraping project....

Electricity is done!

Our electrical service is done! (well, except for the all important punch list that will be knocked out on Monday) The Integrity Electic guys spent several days here this week. They said we have one of the most intense switching systems they have ever seen in a residential project.......I must confess that I'm still not sure what all 12 of the switches behind the front door actually do..... Pictured is Joe from Integrity Electric putting the finishing touches on our kitchen island. The counter top guys were here on Wed to measure the counters, they were fabricated today and will be installed next Wednesday....

It's finally done...

   We're excited to report that our house is finally, really, officially DONE!  The shower hardware in the third-floor bathroom was installed this past weekend.   Yes, we moved in back in June of 2006....Don't judge...
