House Update #15

  We had a setback when it turned out that our flooring was warping.  At first we thought that the radiant heating might be the culprit, but when the manufacturing was called they confessed that they thought they had corrected a defect that would cause the wood warp. We let them know that wasn't fixed.  Daryl and I were just grateful that our general contractor always dry fits the wood at first to see how it will react, so none of the flooring was actually installed.  

  Yesterday we chose new flooring that will only take three days to get to us, so hopefully this will be the end to our  flooring woes.  In the meantime a lot of progress has been made by the tile guys and the plumber.  Almost all of the tile is installed including our kitchen back splash and our shower.  Sinks and faucets are in half of the bathrooms, and the decks are completed.  Sometime next week they will start on getting the railing up on the decks.  If all  goes well it looks like we will be moving in mid-January.  

 I just want to point out that all of these pictures are taken about two in the afternoon. What a difference lights make even though we have a ton of natural lighting in our home.

Here are the master sinks and faucets.

The flooring of our shower is stone pebbles.  It is supposed to be very comfortable to stand on.

Here is  our shower completely tiled.

This is our kitchen back splash. It's glass mosaic tile with metal accents, and it's really hard to see since it is so dark in the house right now. Next week we should have more lights working.

Here's one of the decks.  It is stamped concrete, so it is very durable and easy to keep clean.

We have toilets in the house now!
