Upstairs Tile Photos

Progress upstairs! Last tiles should go down tomorrow!

One project finished, another one started

Yesterday was a milestone. We have officially painted all the walls and ceilings in the house.
 DONE! 
We finished off the basement stairs, the living and dining room ceilings, and the living room and dining room walls. It really doesn't look that different since the wall colors were a second coat and the basement/ceiling color is hardly different from the primer that is underneath it. But it's done!

Since we were having a super productive day, we also put down as much tile as possible in the upstairs bathroom. It couldn't all go down at once because you can't sit or stand on the tiles you have just put down, but a significant amount got done.
The stairs to the basement (final treads is another soon to be started project)

The dining room, fully painted.

Jeff hard at work on the ceiling.

Still working!

Sorting out the upstairs tile with a friend.

Is it straight? Should we line it up with this crooked wall, or this other crooked wall? (just kidding, that's not how we did it).

Downstairs Tiles = Completely down

So at Christmas time, our tile plan had issues and we didn't quite finish putting down the tile in the downstairs bathroom. But, we finish what we start (eventually) so we finished putting it down last week! Now it is ready for grout.
Before last week.

Now.

Getting into Gear

Summer is pretty much here, and that means we are in serious "finish the house" mode.

Here is the latest progress:
Jeff's office furniture in progress.

Putting in the screens in the little house because it is warm outside!

The office with the furniture.

One of Jeff's custom drawer units.

The happy builder.

Hard at work.

The last of the painting is going on. Should be done today!
