Week 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 : Bathroom Tile, Kitchen Template & boat load of Snow!!!




These weeks have blended into each other. Between the holiday season, snow every week, the progress has been really slow. Matt and Adam have started on the bathroom tiles, but the progress is stopped by the disappearance of the glass guy. Matt found a new supplier but needed to wait for the track before the tiling can continue.
The first bathroom to get tiled is the LVL guest bath with the 12x6 inch Thassos marble tile. We opted for a 1/3 overlap instead of the traditional subway tile. It turned out to be great, especially due to Adam's meticulous efforts. Took 1 full week to do just 2 walls.
Kitchen templating was done on 1/20. Process was smooth and we had all fixtures on site which made it easier for them.
Matt has started to make a mould to do the concrete shower pans, it's a complicated process which I still can't wrap my had around. As long as he knows what to do, it's ok by me.
The target date to obtain a CO is mid Feb, but I think is slipping each day as the snow has slowed down progress to a halt. No solar power here, even though the system was technically turned on on Dec 28th.
