Gallery 13 - intermition

I am taking a short intermition from my home renovations while I wait for my wife to settle on the tile for the master bath and it will give me a chance to settle into my new position ( the next step in my carer in health care) as I enter the temp pool as a member of the direct care staff at the Idaho State School and Hospital. Here is a posting of our little kittens.

Flooring Project

I am in the throws of a project of removing all the carpeting and replacing it with solid bamboo flooring, then remodeling both baths. I have removed the carpet from the dinning room already and tiled it in, and remodled the kitchen,(previous posts).
Day One
Clear carpet in front of fire place, lay down 1/2" hardy backerboard, cut & layout tile, set tile, clear out Master bedroom, clear out carpet, layout flooring underlayment, pre-layout flooring...


Day Two
Grout tile, cleet flooring in Master bedroom.
Day Three
Finish flooring in Master bedroom, start prep work in hall bath for flooring, prep hall, lay underlayment in hall bath, layout flooring in hall bath, cleet flooring in hall bath, start prep work in hall.
Day Five
Finished hall and hall bath.
With workomg two jobs and all things slowed a bit. even so by day fifteen I had gotten the living room finished. Now I need to work with the baseboards and paint the trim and the hall walls. Then it's on to the other two bedrooms and the tile work in the baths... This may take a while.
