A week early for the PNW

But the tarp has come off the RV, which means it is officially Summer in my mind...


Temps in the 90's this week don't argue.



The BIG roller...

All done with the 9" roller and the brush.

Time for the 18" roller and big swaths of paint!!!

Tomorrow...

Primer...

I have the first floor and all but the ceilings in the upstairs primed...



Finally...

The cabinets have arrived...


And I have the paint...


I just need to finish priming.  Human bodies were not designed to brush and roll such large areas - especially ceilings ; )

Or am I just old?

Will hopefully post a pic of my priming progress, tonight.

Tiles, again...

These are my 3 tiles left to choose from for the bathroom floor and shower/tub surrounds.  They will be 12"x24"...


Any thoughts, opinions?

My pride and joy...

So smart, just like his adopted father...


Tile choices...

Trying to make final decision on tile for bathroom floor - it will also be used for the tub and the shower surround on the walls...

The tiles are 12"x24"

The surrounding elements are the light paint, black countertops, VG fir on windows(which is darker than sample), brushed nickel hardware, approximate of carpet(undecided also, waiting for more samples), warm gray grout, downstairs concrete floor stain(a goldy terra cotta)...

Darkest of the tiles - possibly not warm enough...


Medium Dark tile - possibly not enough contrast...


Dark and Medium striped tile - possibly too trendy...


Any thoughts?  Opinions?

Just found out this morning...

That Okanogan County Building Department doesn't do Wallboard inspections anymore...


So my next inspection will hopefully be my last - the Final.

Still many months away, but kind of exciting.

My apologies Vegetarian Friends...

I am in love with the local pork chop - probably the best I have ever had in restaurant or home...


It was a restful day - no house work, just the gym in the morning and relaxing and lounging until it was time to make dinner ; )
