We had a couple colors to try and we chose the lighter “Straw” color.

Monday, September 18th, 2006Slab Mistake
Saturday, September 16th, 2006One thing they did incorrectly was the side slabs of the shower opening. THey were not supposed to get narrower when they met the wainscot. They were supposed to stick out about 3/4 inch, but now they are even and the edge of the slab looks funny meeting the drywall. It’s not as clean looking as it could be.
Thresholds
Friday, September 15th, 2006They brought the thresholds today too. Bathrooom carrera thresholds and the limestone for the two entry thresholds.
Master Counter Slab Installation
Friday, September 15th, 2006They couldnt do this before because we were missing a cap for the center leg of the leg system. So that took only 5 days to get on site, but then the slab guys couldn’t get to the house until today, 6 weeks later.
By this time, I was just daily to the contractor “Where the @#%#%^ are they?!”
Watching them put this together was very interesting.

Thursday, August 24th, 2006Instlling Tile Around Slabs
Monday, August 21st, 2006This is why things take so long. The slabs were installed almost three weeks ago, and just now, the tile is being installed around them. I think the tile guy took a vacation.
Hall Bath Toilet Paper Holder
Thursday, August 17th, 2006We couldn’t find one that went well with the tile so we asked them to make one out of the tile. Looks pretty good.

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006Tile Looks Odd
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006We told the tile guy to take tile from different boxes as he went along, he says he did and that the similar colors are because the quickset is drying at different rates under the tile. He says that over time, the tiles will even out.
