Trim & Tile

Steve has done a beautiful job with the crown molding throughout the house. He completed all the crown molding work today. He hired Frank to help him complete the window trim work today. Their wood working talent added the perfect detail to every room of the house.

The bathroom shower tile started going up yesterday. The tile men are just as talented as Steve and Frank. We really didn't tell them what to do, they just seem to know how showers should look using the tile we selected. We were not certain how high, or low the tile chair rail should be installed. Before we arrived they had installed all of the accent pieces of chair rail. When we saw the finished product we agreed it was just the perfect height. The tile is a 13 inch floor tile and matches the floor tile, which is a larger 18 inch tile.

They completed setting the master bath shower, the second bath tub tile and started on the downstairs small shower before they left today. Tomorrow they will add the shelves in the showers then start grouting them. Great progess today.

Windows

I did the happy dance when I saw more of the upstairs windows going in. We don't need any more rain on the second floor.

Our windows are made by Eagle and have two wonderful features. They open from top down, or bottom up! I really like this feature. On hot summer days I can drop the tops down to release the hot air closest to the ceiling. Cool feature. The window casings also fold forward for easy cleaning.

The soffit work continues around the edge of the house with lots of vents for circulation. The electrician is coming this evening to install the wiring on all the porches. Then the framers will enclose the ceilings on porches using this same grey material they used around the edge of the house.

We are going to San Angelo today to view their Parade of Homes. We need paint color ideas and much more. I hope to glean lots of ideas from these homes today.
