Shower heads

Today the shower heads and counter tops were installed. Not to mention my practically perfect son-in-law power washed the patio and driveway. Here are photos of the shower. More photos tomorrow.

The devil's in the details

It always seems like that last week has so few and yet so many things to get done. And I have to rely on all these other people to show up to do them! The painter will come on Tues/Wed. The countertop guy on Wed. The plumber on Thurs. The shower door guy on Friday. The electrician on... oh who knows. The vacuflo guy on the following Tuesday. The airduct cleaning people the following Tuesday, and on and on.
Thank heaven my good friend Kay has offered to come over Wednesday to install trim with me all day - unbelievable! What an angel!
Here are pix of some of the trim that has to be installed... wonder if she knew what she was getting into?
That's her fancy HVLP gun that she loaned me to paint the trim too!

Counter tops and floor finish

Today we had people come measure for bathroom countertops. At the same time the hardwood floor guys are refinishing the floors. That requires we climb in and out of the bedroom window to access the bathroom! The countertop guy was really a good sport about the whole thing. Not only did he have to climb in the window, but was exposed to nearly lethal fumes from the floor finish for nearly an hour while templating the counters. I felt so sick from being in there I had to go lay down for the rest of the afternoon!

Heading toward the finish line

The latest photos

The bathroom tile is beginning

It's so exciting to see the bathroom tile to start.

Evidence of my work

I had one of the guys take a photo of me working on the fireplace to prove that I actually work!

Re-using some light fixtures

There were some beautiful light fixtures in a brass finish that I didn't care for. So I just painted them black today. They've turned out great! I took the glass out to paint them, so the masking was a piece of cake.

Heated floor

The tile guy is putting a heated floor mat in the bathroom under the tile. Here is what it looks like before being covered.

Finishing touches...

We are nearly done with the fireplace. WOW it is looking so fantastic. Goran and Braun also were busy repairing the siding from moving the two hose bibs on the outside.
