Tile, tile, and more tile

The tile is all up. With the exception of the glass mosaics in the shower (ran out of grout), all of the tile in the bathroom is done. Just need to let the grout dry for 4 days and then I can start sealing all the tile. The bathroom is probably a little more modern than what we had thought but oh well.

Lauren's first SUV/Wagon

For my first birthday I thought we were getting a new SUV with a big bow on top. This isn't quite what I had in mind but at least it has 4 cupholders and seats that fold flat for maximum storage.

Let the tiling begin

After repairing some spots in the kerdi and cutting all of the 18" x 18" limestone tiles in half, the tile is all ready to go.

I'm 12 months old now!

So you want me to hold onto this string and not the bear? Why? What happens if I....


Uh oh.

Orange wallpaper

The drawers are too close to the wall, so I had to cut the end off so that it will clear the door trim. Here's the wood after a table saw.


Here's my nicely sanded and rounded edges. Just need to stain them and put them back on.


Here's the drain and shower pan kit. The rails are presloped so you know exactly how to slope the concrete. Unfortunately the hole around the drain wasn't large enough so this kit is sitting on top of the concrete base. This means the shower pan is going to be an inch thicker than it should be. I didn't realize this until the tile guy had already poured most of the concrete.


Here's the orange wallpaper. This is actually a waterproofing membrane called Kerdi. It goes on with thinset and then the tile goes on top of it. The whole shower is covered in this including the ceiling. I just hope the kerdi on the ceiling has enough strength to hold the tile.
