Aug 9th

Long time no blog…Bad Laurie!!

I laughed when I opened this blog up and saw that I said on July 26 we were close to painting…We are just now getting the painting finished up…Tomorrow John is going to paint the foyer…I put 2 coats on the ceiling on the weekend and John sprayed a third coat on Monday…I painted the living room wall last weekend also…So we are getting there…

We brought the flooring over on Monday night…so it is here "aclimatizing" (not sure how to spell that word). We should be able to start the install on the weekend. Hopefully Doug will come over and help us with Hardwood 101

John (drywaller) has lent me his amazing Italian tile saw…so i am working away getting my copper slate tiles ready for install. I am doing a point to point (diagonal) install at the front door, the french doors and the mudroom. I am also using the same slate for the backsplash, so I am working on getting a bunch cut down to 6×6. Amazing tool…I would LOVE to have one–not sure what for, as when I am done this tiling I won’t have much left to do (other than the master bath)

The concrete is all done…PHEW! The porch and the last pad in the back was poured on Tuesday…I REALLY do have to get a picture of the porch and show y’all that. It is GREAT…very happy!!

 

What else? What else?? I think that is it…drywall, paint, tile, hardwood, concrete…yup…That’s it!
