End of Week 10: Tile's complete

Wow, time is just flying and it sure isn't slowing down at all. Week 10 seems like a blur honestly and here we are starting off Week 11. Things are lining up but it's mid-October which is making me nervous about completion time.

Tiling started and finished all in Week 10...Looking pretty good actually, despite Week 9's nightmare.

(Master bath)


(Master bath - shower niche, came out excellent despite our worries)

(Kitchen - beginning of the herringbone pattern)

(Kitchen - notice the nice freaking gap and height difference to the
existing hardwood floors)

(Master bath - chair rail is in on top, looks great)

(Master bath - love love love the white 2" hexagons w/ dark grey grout!)

(Kitchen - completed!! The wood porcelain tiles with the white grout in a
herringbone pattern came out just lovely!)

(Kitchen - love it!! Beautiful! I must say the tile crew - who actually did the work - were really professional)

(This is no bueno, this is the height difference from the laundry room to the exterior door....yeah....thanks for an
unforeseen step!!)

(Kitchen - looking into the pantry)

(Master bath - my favorite room so far. Oh my goodness, the black and white hexagons came out PERFECT!!)

(Love our floors, very vintage)

The Man and I luckily found a guy in the valley who would custom cut a piece of Carrara Marble for the shower curb! It was superb and such a good deal!! With all our bad luck, I can't believe this actually worked out for us.

In other news, the Man is still working on the first bedroom in time for us to move in. Plastering is really difficult for him but he's starting to get used to it. It's definitely labor intensive work! Thank you honey for all the work you do!!

(Plastering - who knew it would be such a bitch?!)

(Plastering - there is an art to mixing the compound and quickly plastering it
on the walls before it dries)

(Ceiling prep to take on plaster)
