Bathroom Tile is Done!

I can't believe it, the bathrooms are all tiled! The pebble floor turned out great. We still need to install the fixtures in the Master shower as well as the drain in the boys bathroom. Tomorrow (hopefully) the master shower will be measured for the frame-less glass enclosure.

Master Shower

Boys Shower

I love the gray tile against the espresso cabinets. I can't wait to see what it looks like once it's all painted and cleaned up.

The plumber finished moving the gas line from behind the fireplace brick. Now that the tile installer has finished with the bathrooms he is ready to start working around the fireplace. Let's see if he actually gets to it this week.....

Greg finished all of his to-do list inside the house (garage still needs to be cleaned out). The last thing he did was install the latch on the pocket door. It looks great. Ian told me that the pocket door is his favorite feature of the new house.

I've finished changing out all the outlets and switches on the ground floor, but that's not really picture-worthy.

Day 13

Closets are getting their update. Out with the old sliding mirror doors. We knew that the master closets needed some updating, but the solution wasn't straightforward. So our contractor suggested we make the entry smaller and add two normal doors to pull the closets into this century. The his and hers closets are across the hall from each other and huge doors would hit, if we wanted to be in our closets at the same time. Solution: Smaller doors and offset entrances. The funny thing the opening is actually bigger now, even though they are framing it for doors to fit. Why does my closet already have more stuff in it? Former shower space, now has the framing for cabinets. Master Shower plumbing, is coming along. Squee! Master vanity! 2nd Bath has plumbing exposed and new hardware ready to be installed. Good thing our drywall is getting replaced, that looks a little water damaged! 2nd Bath has cabinets too!

Stairs and Flooring

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted anything because it seems like a long time since any real progress has been made on the house. I think that in the wake of Hurricane Harvey all of the subcontractors took on extra work and our house was neglected :( But we are back on track and the stairs are done! They still need to be stained, but it's exciting to see the the carpentry done because this was the impetus for the whole renovation project. We knew we needed to redo the stairs and everything else just snowballed from there. 'Before' The stairs look great!!! They have started on the flooring this week and have already made great progress. There is a lot of floating required to level the floor, so that is slowing things down, but I love the way the laminate looks. Leveling the floor outside the master bathroom The living room floor was pretty torn up from removing the tile and they ...

Seeing the Finish Line

We are close... So close! There are still a few things left for the contractors to do, and even more things for us to take care of, but we are getting so close to moving. In fact we have even started moving! Stairs are done and looking awesome! Before After Master Bath Before After Before After Pianos getting moved in! Yep, its getting real! On a side note... if you need piano movers, these guys are awesome. I wouldn't trust moving the delicate 800 pound beast to just anyone. Without internet, Ian discovered this little thing called 'the outdoors...' We have a decent climbing tree in the backyard. 3rd Floor got some carpet. Mantle Prep. Matt and Greg made the mantle, they did an amazing job! Before After Boys Bathroom Before After Before After Half Bath Makeover! Yikes, I can't believe it used to look like that! Before ...
