I have a shower!!!!!!


Finally after what seems like years, the shower in the Master bedroom it is finished! Dale, sealed the grout, put in the faucet, drain and the door..........Yahoo! He then sealed the seems with silicone sealer and we get to use it for the first time tonight! This is the before photo if you remember from a past blog post.
 
 Here is a picture of it finished.....sorry you can't see the door it is clear glass and actually I took the pictures with the door closed......
 
and this...........
see it matches the floor tile.......

Now we can move on to the closet in the Master bedroom, then paint, and carpet..........sounds like a piece of cake compared to the bathroom........hopefully it will move along smoother and quicker.

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

more of the same

We just have 26 more tiles to lay in the bathroom and we will be finished with the tiling. Then is has to cure and we will grout it.....then it has to cure and we can seal it. We then have to put the shower faucets in and the drain cover and we will have that bathroom almost finished. We still have the trim around the door and a door for the hot water tank.........
Dale has 3 more vacation days so he took off Wednesday so he could finish the tiling and work on a few other things. The day started off as any other day, the puppies woke us up at 6:30 needing to go outside. Then they have to eat and play for 2 hours then down for a 2 hour nap and repeat the process. So the puppies had just gone down for a nap, Dale went outside to take care of the critters outside and I came into the office here to check on emails.......
No one was aware of what was going on in the kitchen until Dale came back in the house and began screaming and cussing (unusual for Dale). I ran to see what was going on, I thought he had cut himself or something. There is the kitchen was 2 inches of water  and it was running down the hallway in a deluge. The pipe under the kitchen sink, had for some still unknown reason  just came loose.
Water was everywhere, packed boxes got wet, water got into Joshua's bedroom and got a edge of the new carpet wet, more packed boxes got wet, the puppies woke up crying, Mollie was running around barking at everyone..........it was a mess!!!
Needless to say the 26 tiles didn't get laid.......we cleaned up the mess......and went to bed earlier then usual last night.........
