More Bathroom

The grout has been put in.

Grout has also been put in on the floor. And the glass guy stopped by today to put in the obscure glass in the window.

The bathroom door now also has obscure glass in it.

The door between the living room and the front bedroom also had to get some glass replaced.

Bathroom

Our third and final dumpster was collected. We can see the side of our house again!

We fixed part of the off-centered bathtub built-in by adding more padding. That seemed to work fine to help straighten out the placement of the knobs, shower head and faucet that the plumber had installed off-center. Except now we noticed that the switch for the (centered) plug looked like it was too for on the left. I don’t even know why this plumber still has a job, or why we haven’t been assholes enough to tell him not to bother coming back.

The tile guy laid down the floor tiles.

Counter Top Installation

During the counter top installation we came across a problem where our 33″ sink was slightly too big for our 33″ base cabinet. We had Gus cut into our new cabinet so that our under mount sink could fit in. (See how it is sitting on top in the picture.)

Our beautiful new granite countertops! They will have to come back for one backsplash that was cut wrong.

The tile work is coming along nicely, as appeared to be the window molding. Unfortunately upon closer inspection it was installed sideways due to the Durock being higher than the drywall – a concern we had raised to our contractor before it was built, yet it still got messed up.

Look at our cool custom shower design come together!

Tiling, Carpentry and Painting

The shower is starting to take shape with the tile.

Yet another thing the plumber f*cked up. Now that the tiling has started we noticed that both the faucet and the handles are off center. Grrrrr.

New molding being put up around the kitchen door (to the dining room).

Now that the molding is up the switch seems awfully close. Unfortunately we’re told it’d be kind of a pain to switch.

We were at the house until after midnight painting the first coat of color in the kitchen.
