August 13 Crown mouldings & window casings

The finisher started on the window casings and crown mouldings today. The designs aren't what we originally envisioned, but being picky and having things changed costs extra, so there are some things we can learn to live with. Here's the living room window.

Aug 6-8 Touch-ups & Tiling

Aug 6 Not very noticeable, but the top border of the bathroom window that formerly touched the roof, was removed and replaced by a narrower border. It was bugging us for a while.
Same applies to the small windows on the side - all the wide top borders were replaced with narrower borders.


 The ceilings have been painted.
 Aug 8 Floor tiling has been laid. All tiles are 12" x 24". This is the kitchen - should've been laid in the other direction, but oh well, the kitchen cabinets and island will be placed on top, so it won't be too noticeable, we hope.

The drywallers were busy taping inthe garage.
