About Me

My photo
I wanted to thank everyone who was interested in my house construction. Despite how much I hate blogs this would be the easiest way for me to share the progress. No talk about me standing in line at Target or other stuff no one cares about. Just construction, Good and bad.

Trim and grout

Today started off with trips 44 to Home Depot and trip 45 to Lowes. Later in the day had to make trip 46. Yes that is three trips in one day for those math experts. I went and picked up Lauren's car because I was purchasing all of the door and base trim. The 12 footer definitely do not fit in the Passat.

My new roommate Dave helped out a little. He took over for me on some of the grouting and was able to finish one of the shower walls. Later in the day I did the second wall. Grouting the 2 x 2 wall tiles was pretty mess. Of coure I purchased half as much light colored grout than I need. It took one large bucket to grout the shower. That is about half way. I'm going to need to pick up another large bucket. Unfortunately I'm not able to get to the tile place during normal business hours. Not sure when I will be able to pick up some more.

The shower walls are grouted and ready for the glass.

Putting the grout in this shampoo recess was a challenge.

While Dave was working on the shower wall I started the trim. I got a few walls and doors trimmed. Its looking pretty good. I spent some time cleaning and clearing trash from the back yard. Ended a little early today since it was so nice out.


Fine craftsmanship of course... (I'm not showing close ups of the other corners)



Tending to important business while grouting. Thank you Jason for taking advantage of the photo op.
