Floors, etc.

We came back from Montreal and had a lovely surprise waiting for us - floors! They are beautiful, even unstained . . . I love the wide planks. The insulation is mostly up, too, which means the sheet rock is just around the corner.







Before our trip, we went to pick out tile for the bathrooms, which was a little overwhelming. But here what we decided on:

For our bathroom: the gray mosaic tiles will go on the floor, the pebble tiles will go on the shower floor, and the others will go on the wall of the shower


For Charlie's bathroom: we ended up ordering these hex tiles, but with a bit of a grayish border around the edges - that way we can avoid white grout (which I hate the thought of cleaning)


The siding is all done, and the cedar shakes are in


And we have a door!

Bathrooms Underway

We have bathtubs! They are currently filled up with about 8" of water (and bugs and other floaties) to make sure the fittings won't leak. It has been hard to convince Charlie that he doesn't need to get in and test the water.

Our tub . . .
