Grout!

It's a great feeling to come home from a weekend to find more work done!

Floors are all finished! They completed all the grout work on Saturday and by the time we got home, all was dry and well with the world.

The bathroom is looking more and more like a bathroom now that the show is in... just need to wait for the vanity so we can get the sink put in! oh yeah, a toilet would be nice too. But at least the walls and getting done and the floor is complete.

The closer we get to completion, the more we are liking the work we they are doing! Curious to see what tomorrow brings, as they are probably 2 days from completion.

We have paint - at least on part of the walls... the bathroom is still purple drywall.

We also have tile on the floor... but we can't walk on it yet LOL The crew was here today and put down the tile floor. They will come back tomorrow (Yes, they was working on our basement on Saturday of Easter weekend) to grout. No more bare cement floor!


It is weird to come home to find a note on the floor "Do not walk on floor"... um, ok, where should I walk? The ceiling? Guess I better go dig out my spiderman shoes!

They also have finished boxing in the area that we are considering putting a built-in wine rack. But now when we look at it, that wall that is open for the wine rack would be the perfect wall to put the pinball machine on... oh why do we not think of these things earlier in the process??

Day 4 has come and gone!

Building inspector was here this afternoon! Everything is starting to look more and more complete!!

I am getting anxious to actually see what the flooring is going to look like once it is installed too.

We were told that they opted to cut out bathroom door a little shorter. They knew that we are going to be finishing the ceiling at some point and will end up boxing in the duct work. The top of the door was going to end up right near one of the ducts and when we boxed everything in, the trim and door frame were going to be in the way. The result... a doorway that is about 4 inches shorter than a standard door. But that is definitely the best of the two options - don't want to just make more work for ourselves later!

They did bring the vanity over today and it is a little on the large side. Now the quiestion is, do we go with on 3 inches smaller or 6 inches smaller? Depending on which size we opt to go with, we may or may not have drawers... I think I would be willling to give up the drawers for the extra space to move around. We figure we are not going to have that much to store in this bathroom and we have a whole closet on the other side of the bathroom that will have all kinds of shelving space.
