Day Twenty-Four

Whooo! Seemed like lots of things happening today. Kirk came early this morning and unloaded a truck full of stuff and got started on the wall tile. I love it! The accent strips and bull-nose toppers arrived. We discussed the position of the accents and the position of the quarter-round shelves that go in the corner of the shower. Kirk worked all day until about 4:30. Tomorrow he will finish with the top row of tiles. Had to wait on doing that for the accent pieces to "set" and dry. Then I believe the next step is to tile the "curb" and the post. Next week it will be grout, then the glass block wall, then more grout...........
Mike came by to check on things and he said he was very happy with the progress. Our job has been one of his smoothest! So far, so good! He confirmed the counter-top installation for next Friday. Then he said the next week will be painting and doing the "trim out". That obviously includes plumbing and electrical installations.
I ordered the mirrors.
Nurse J is coming by this evening to help us by giving a third opinion on color choice for the walls.
In the midst of all this, our friend, Steve, who has a Handyman service, sent one of his guys over to power wash the house in preparation of painting the trim. That was quite noisy and I am surprised the cats are speaking to me after that. The girls were pretty frantic and I didn't see Cecil all day! But the outside of the house is very clean!
I plan to take pictures while we are in the bathroom discussing colors later this evening. I will post them in the morning. Onward!
