Tiling toils

With the kitchen and bath cabinets in place, we schedule the counter top install. The installer came out with his son and they did a fantastic job installing the counter tops. Now the challenge will be to keep them clean.

Also, with the cabinets out of the living room, we pick up the pace on the demolition. Larry and Ben take great satisfaction ripping out the old carpet (from the 70’s?) and peeling the paneling off the walls. With all the debris out, it looks like we’re making progress.

The tub tile surround in the bathroom is finished, except for the grouting. It has taken 3 weekends. This is something that didn’t seem like it would be that time consuming, but all the back and forth measuring and cutting tiles take time as does stopping to mix up more thinset. After this, every project estimation will be multiplied by 3.
