Bit Parts

Ok, it was a point of pride to use movie-related titles for the duration of the blog, but as this is the 55th post, I recognize that some of these are a little bit of a stretch and perhaps the novelty has worn off. Bear with me for a couple more weeks and then we'll put all this nonsense to rest!

Here's a picture of the master shower in it's near final state! Now that it's been grouted, I really love it. The grout makes the black tiles 'pop' as they all love to say and makes the ceiling blend better since we didn't want that to be a focal point. Don't you love my bench? Probably not, it's just a little bench, but that's ok because I do!

The built-ins for the office are nearing completion. The bottom 1/3 of the middle are the file drawers I think I mentioned in an earlier post.

The grass is always greener...when it's actual grass! This is just the hydroseed that will hopefully take root and turn into grass very soon. I think we're going to luck out weather-wise as we've got one more really warm week predicted before it returns to the 60s (and lower and then lower...). The water is supposed to be available tomorrow so that Brian can hook up the sprinklers! Anyone know any Indian Grass Dances??

A little bit seems to happen every day, but we'll be glad when we see some big steps forward. One carpenter and one painter (Red has got to be 80 if he's a day!) just don't seem to get enough done every day when you've only got 18 days left. The plumbing is now supposed to arrive tomorrow...toilets, pedestal sinks and all the faucets, wood floors on Monday and light fixtures will be installed next Tuesday. Let's hope we move from flip-book pace to live action film speed!
