Lights, puddles and action

Well from the 4th of July till the 24th of August we've been busy busy busy! Arne hasn't been home for almost two weeks except to breeze in and take care of business he can't do over the phone or computer. He has carefully selected each piece of slate to lay around the tub and in the shower. At first Colleen was helping but pretty soon one tile just starts to look like another. Daniel learned how to use the wet saw and the floor tiles went far more quickly with the two of themtag teaming the approach. If you check the picture of the floor tile infront of the shower pan there's a hidden picture. Okay, maybe not to most, especially the boys who think Colleen is crazy again but it seems to her there's a puddle shape in the tiles when you step in and out of the shower! Say you see, please?! Last week we got all the light fixtures and plugs in. Took quite awhile to get all the covers on and the bulbs in but now when you walk into a room there's a light switch that actually turns on the lights!! The upstairs fans need a little tweaking as working 8 ft off the ground takes some courage that doesn't come all at once. This week, the 27th, the plumber comes to put in all the plumbing for the master bathroom. Amazon shower head, jacuzzi tub, toilet and sinks. Don't plan on checking it out for a while though as Colleen is spending the weekend soaking in the jacuzzi tub!!Next is the downstairs bathroom and then on to the hardwood floors and kitchen. It's picking up speed now, especially with Arne's old college friend coming for a visit from Germany. We certainly appreciate his timely visit and interest in visiting the Oregon Coast as it's add some motivation to the tiresome tiling!! More pictures when there's more to show!
