Week 81: Fire Orb & etc...




Hands down the best moment this week was definitely the Fire Orb installation. If the house didn't spell modern before, it surely does now. The matte black steel looks incredibly industrial and soft at the same time.
The finish line is in sight now. All we need is 1 more bathroom to be tiled and the rest is history.
We spent this weekend, finishing the media closet and all the audio receptacles.
Found out our recessed baffle trims needed to be changed, the ones we purchased from Royal Pacific is metal, too heavy and does not adhere flush to the ceiling. Went to home depot and bought Halo brand trim instead. They work great. If we knew in advance that baffle trims are interchangeable between different brands, we wouldn't have ran into this problem. Well, live and learn.
Weeks ago, when the kitchen was completed, we weren't 100% happy with the radius of the corner. Saturday, Marcello came back and hand grinded down to a sharp corner. What a nice guy, felt bad about him working on Saturday. He did a fantastic job.
The sliding mirror and medicine cabinet was also done, it looks great!!!!

Bo/Han, FireOrb looks great. Finishing touch, so to speak. What floors do you have? Thx. Karl

Hi Karl,
We went with concrete floors, 3000 psi, commercial grade, also because of the radiant flooring as our heat source. After it was poured, it was polished to almost a mirror finish. It's dusty in the pictures, but it looks fantastic when it's all clean.
