Bathroom Tile

Tile guys have been working hard the last week. Tile floors are all in and the shower and tub walls are nearly done.

Kids bathroom tile

I have floors being delivered this week, doors, trim and cabinets are also in the house ready to be installed.
And guess what ?  A driveway may be in our near future!

Pics from today! Solar and some color..

From the pictures you can see the challenge of the solar panel location.. its only a 2.7kw system but it should take care of most of the house energy use.

The only real vantage point that you can see the solar cells

Thats the first set, the 2nd set is behind them 

Little bit of coloring going on the front

Next steps: we should have rock going up the front face this weekend, last stucco coat going on with the integral color, and trenching should start for the sewer connection. Oh and tile is going in on the inside!

Painting!

This is the final color going on the siding!

On the right is the color of the primer which caused quite a stir with the neighbors & city

Its just primer folks!

Stucco - Scratch Coat

So this weekend the stucco work began. The 'scratch coat' is on!
Inside, the mudding continues. This week they should finish and the texturing will start inside. Afterwards is paint. I'm scheduling the cabinets and floors to show up soon therafter.

Drywall makes a difference..

Drywall has been hung. Nice to see the actual walls in place. Now you get a feel for the sizes of rooms. It also brightened the house up alot.
