Day 422 - More Tile & Stone!

It's day 422 and we are still at the tile and exterior limestone stage. Because we have such amazing people working on our house, their attention to detail results in slow progress... but it looks amazing!!

Exterior Limestone Wall #1...

Travertine tile...

The phone cameras don't seem to capture the color correctly but you get the idea.

With natural stone tile, each one is unique!

Day 416 - Tile Started!

It's day 416 and our new tile has been delivered....

Frank, our amazing tile guy, started by setting the stairway posts and trim. 

Whole house picture...

Our exterior trim guy started installing our soffit trim. Vinyl and aluminum means maintenance free! 

There's Frank our tile guy! He is such a perfectionist! 

Here's a picture of our limestone that has finally been started! The time and detail going Ito this is truly amazing! This pic below is only 3 days work! 

 

Our travertine!

Foyer and walkway tile installed!!

It's actually starting to look like a home! So excited to see everyone's hard work paying off! 

Day 397 - Thinset Stage for Tile!

It's day 397 and things are moving along.  All the tile areas have been mudded and cabinets were delivered. We have picked out our stairway trim and posts and we are in final stages of picking out our tile for our bathrooms. 

55 boxes of cabinets... Thanks LaFata! 

This is the foyer and walkway in front of the living room. Step 1 of installing our travertine tile is tar paper and setting the steel. (See below)...

Here is part of master bath already mudded...

Here is the post we picked out for our basement stairway. Hopefully ours will be stained to look like this later on. 

Here is a picture of Frank laying the tile out to get an idea of the pattern. You can see the "mud" underneath...
