Grout

The bathroom is really coming along! Pretty soon we will have the toilet in, then we won’t have to use buckets… haha!

This past Sunday, Craig, Alex, George, and our friend Michael Notter layed the floor tile.

Here are a few pics pre-grout:

Now a few pics during grout:

And a few pics after grout and cleaning! Just needs to dry and get sealed.

My dad came over and assessed the electric- the bathroom lights will be getting put in soon, and hopefully my brother can put in the toilet soon. Then the vanity, and then the countertop once it comes in, followed by the fixtures. It is all coming together, and it is so exciting!

Productive Day!

Craig didn’t work today because the jobsite was too muddy, so he started tiling the bathroom. He finished setting tile for the shower walls today and it looks great!! Here are some pics:

Thanks to Uncle Joel for letting the boys use the tile saw!

 

Almost finished… Notice the advertisement for Bergmann-Roscow Plumbing, who just so happened to provide the toilet, fixtures, and plumbing labor to our bathroom. Thank you Uncle EJ and brother Josh!

Last piece!

Finished product! (Well, minus the grout and cleaning) Great job Craig :)

I spent all afternoon doing touch up painting in the living room. A few months back, Craig put caulking around the trim of the windows and front door and later decided to take it off, which ripped all of the fresh paint off. We just haven’t had the time to go in and fix it until today. I also finished the touch ups on the trim pieces and straightened the edges where the walls meet the ceiling. All we need in the living room is a new light fixture/ceiling fan, a few outlet and light switch covers, and a little bit of cleaning! Oh, and furniture..

 

Hopefully I will have more to post early next week! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Bathroom

It has been two months since our last blog, wow… Anyways, we haven’t got too much accomplished due to good weather (no rain days), Craig shearing every Saturday and Sunday, and me finishing up my internship (yay!). Now that I am finished with school for the summer, I will be up at the house as much as I can doing all of the touch up work we have been waiting to do.

We are pretty close to finishing the bathroom. All that is left to do is put the tile down on the floor and in the shower, then put in the toilet, vanity, lighting, etc…

Here is the bathroom after drywall.

Excited for the big closet!

Concrete board where the tile is going.

First coat of paint. We originally bought a green color for the bathroom, but we ended up painting it the color that we bought for the middle room. So now the middle room is going to be green.

Future site of the vanity and toilet. This is my attempt to keep the floors clean ($1.00 sheets from Nice Twice)

Just to give everyone a preview, this is what we have to look forward to when we start on the kitchen!!! AHHHH!!!
