Compulsory Saturday Post

It's time for a Saturday Update just because I haven't written anything since Sunday.

It looks like tile installation day is going to be next Monday, February 8th. That's the day after the SuperBowl. (Can I say that or must I refer to it as "The Big Game"?) To hell with it; SuperBowl! SuperBowl! SuperBowl!

I still have dry wall to install and finish the cement board around the shower area. I can't do it right now because Susan is in there mudding.

When she is finished, I'll get in there and do my work.

In the meantime, we have picked up our accent tile so we now have everything we need to start the tile installation...except our professional tile installer, Ron. We are expecting him to come by tomorrow and inspect the site. 

At that time we will figure out the best way to proceed.

This is one square foot of the tile we ordered.

This is one square foot of the accent tile we ordered. It's a dark glossy green.

We want to create this effect.

We could not find any tile that had the accent with the color we wanted, so we adapted, we improvised, we overcame.

We will end up marking the pattern we want on the tiles that need to be removed in each one of the 95 square feet we have, removing the individual un-accented tile notated in the pattern, and integrating the lovely, accented, glossy green individual tile into the aforementioned pattern.
