JULY 18 UPDATE: Tile!

After much strategizing, the pad that will go under the stove is now tiled! Well, almost -- Dave will still need to put the grout on after it's set for a day or so. But at least we've gotten this far!

And no one is allowed go over there with a ruler and start measuring the tile spacing -- we purchased two different sizes of tile spacers, and neither one was going to work exactly with the 4-foot by 4-foot space, so Dave freehanded it. It's pretty close, but not perfect. Eh. Perfect is overrated anyway.


There was a cool full moon tonight ... made me wish for a tripod, as I couldn't quite get a fully focused picture no matter how I tried to set it up.

Looks like a humming construction zone in the house, doesn't it?

Dave headed to bed soon after finishing the tiling -- a neighbor, Al, will be here to help at 8 in the morning, and Dave has some things he wants to finish before Al gets here. Don and Mary will be here later in the morning also -- we'll see how quickly the addition can come together!

... Of course, Dave did mention that his plan is completely out of whack if it rains tonight ... and I hear thunder. Figures.
