One window done.

I love the way these curtains look! But I do need more clips. And I didn't measure as well as I thought I did. Should have been about an inch higher. I may wait til tomorrow to rehang them.

Master Bath walls...

This is the master bathroom wall.  :)  We, John & I, decided not to put crown moulding at the top of the tile walls. It looks good with it stopping right there in the corner. 
David and I were just down there to look at the latest supplies...  That will be my next post. :)

The other side of that window. There's not much that has to be done here in this bathroom...  Well, I do have to decide where to put a small ceiling fan & light. 






I copy and pasted a picture of the fan from Lowe's website.  There were 20 something reviews... all were positive comments.  I saw it at Lowe's when we first started the demolision.

Window trim is done... Crown moulding is done...  Vent is installed, cover is attached...  This part of the bathroom is finished... 
As soon as the flooring in the rest of the cabin is installed... the cabinets built and installed, doors installed...  What else??? There will be some serious cleaning to do in there.  But... that will be good!  After the floor is down, I can order our storage bed.  :)

This is the back of the shower wall.  John did a really good job of finishing off that wall.  It didn't look right with the tile stopping where it did.  The casing trim with a little cut off one side was perfect!  The texture is the same on the walls and ceiling.  I love it!!!

The shower side of that wall.  Another two months should have us moving in.  That will give John time to get the floor down and get the cabinets finished??? 
That will also have me all finished with H & R Block!!!!  YES!!! 
That will also be a couple of anniversaries for me.  High school graduation and wedding anniversary... both in May. 

Window trim and ceiling fans

We thought we'd like the rosettes at the corners of the window trim, but after seeing them...  Well...  We decided to go back to the traditional 45 degree angled trim.  This just didn't look right.

I'm sorry about all the clutter, but this is a work in progress.  I guess I could have moved the extra tile to the storage building today, but it was snowing!  And John was trying to work on the trim.  I didn't want to get in his way.  I took these photos last night about 10:30.
LOL!!!  I was sweeping some sawdust in the sunroom (just around the corner from where I was standing) when John's air compressor tried to come on.  I had that little heater plugged in to keep it from being so cold down here.  It startled me, because I knew I was the only one there...  It tripped the breaker.  Hmmm...  I thought there was enough amps to not be doing that???  Will ask Tommy, the electrician, about that when I figure out how to use my new cell phone.  :-)

Master Bath tile...

The tile in the master bath is finished!  Grouted and cleaned.  Looks GREAT!!!  There's enough room in there to wash my hair without hitting my elbows on the wall or shower curtain.  The water will hit the top of my head instead of the back of my neck.  

I guess that Eric, the plumber, could put in the shower head and trim... and all the things that go on the Jacuzzi.  Yes! That will work!!!  Oh! ... wait... John has to get back in there to paint.  I'm trying to get ahead of myself.  It's just so hard to wait... 

The grout looks very light colored, but it isn't.  The color is Bone and was the darkest of the neutrals that Lowe's had on their chart.   I'm very pleased with it.  Darker grout would have worked, but I had an hour and a half to make all the choices for the tile... what size tile went where... what color grout...  sanded vs. unsanded...  Then, when I had all those choices made, the salesman looked on his computer to make sure they had enough...  Nope.  Someone had bought some of the same tile I wanted.  That is why there are three colors, instead of just one or two.  But... it has worked out beautifully!  and I love it!

Drywall...

 WOW!!!  The other side of the fireplace is almost done.  It makes it feel more like a real room. Just a couple of days ago, there was a 4' stack of drywall and green board in front of the fireplace.  Now, it's odds and ends of tile and stuff.  Having all the walls closed in with insulation and drywall is making it much warmer, too. 

This is looking into the kitchen.  John, the carpenter, had his two helpers, Chris & Jackie, move all the tile, grout and other stuff into the bedroom yesterday morning...  He would have been helping, except I was there to ask about the dryer vent in the Utility Room.  We'd forgotten about that before tile was put on the floor.  John says he can fix that.  Right now, we have regular type washer & dryer.  We, David & I, talked last night about getting the stacked set to save space.  But we'll still need that dryer vent in the floor.  But, I don't have to make that decision right now...  I'll think about that tomorrow...

Here's the Sun Room with drywall.  Doesn't it look different???  There will be window seats along both walls.  I don't know what kind of storage there'll be under them, yet.  Tommy, the electrician, suggested having a raised platform/table in the corner.  He's got the cable run over to that corner for that.  There have been so many decisions to make, that it gets overwhelming.

Now, we're looking at the front door... of course...  John took that door out and re-set it.  We'd thought that when Jackie, the house leveler, got things straightened out, it would open and close better...  It didn't.  John fixed it yesterday before putting up the drywall.  It was nice to be able to open that door without having to use my shoulder to push it open.  Thanks, John!

Orange walls... :-)

Not to worry!  It's only the waterproofing membrane.  http://www.schluter.com/index.aspx  It's been used on This Old House and several of the shows that Amy Matthews does for HGTV and DIY.  I was impressed with how it goes on the wall... almost like wall paper.  Of course, as a complete amateur at wallpapering, I have no idea how easy or how hard it is to put up wallpaper.  But, Amy Matthews makes it look easy!!! 

More bathroom...

Looking through the bathroom door.  The end of the Jacuzzi and edge of the shower.  There's a big window on the other side of the tub.  The shower is open on two sides.  There was only so much room in there.
