Finally some progress

We finally have some progress on the bathroom. The tile for the floor came in, and I was able to get an order of waterproofing membrane for the shower in - this time from a reliable distributor - and I'm back at work again.

This evening I laid out the whole pieces of stone. Luckily there were some straight line markings left over from the last tile floor this bathroom had, and I was able to use those to get the pattern straight. It's called a Versailles (aka headache) pattern. The stone is cut so that each of them meet with a butt joint. Grout lines will be really tight.

Enough talk, here are the pictures.




In other news... we got the order in for the cabinets and I'm ordering appliances tomorrow. We also have an order in for the bedroom furniture and will be placing another order with Basset for some random formal living room and dining room stuff tomorrow. Maybe a rug too... I'm not quite sold on the one we saw today yet. Kind of annoying because there's a big 20/30% off sale, but we have to place an order tomorrow because it ends then.

We're also almost done with the front / upstairs bedroom. It's painted, carpets cleaned and the furniture is moved in. Basically all it needs is a frame for this Shrek poster that I have and it'll be finished. Pics to come soon. The office is now a work in progress since all the bedroom stuff that was in there is gone, along with the giant bookshelf that was on the wall. It's really opened up the room, almost too much because now it looks really empty. Great view out the window now though from the new desk layout.
