The end of Week 2

Oh my goodness! How much work have they done in 1 week? They’ve now almost finished the tiling. So, in one week they’ve concreted the floor, done the 2nd round of waterproofing and the tilers came back in on Friday & Saturday and almost finished the tiling.

Danny & I piked out for 2 nights and went to a local motel to have a long hot shower & sleep soundly in an air-conditioned room 🙂

Remind me never to do this again! Living in a construction site is not my idea of fun. Coming home on Saturday to find a fine layer of tile dust on every surface of every room that hadn’t been closed off was excruciating. An unscheduled visit to our friends Dean & Collen helped (as did the wine – thank you Colleen 😀 ). Once we got home a quick vacuum and dust before we stopped for dinner helped put things right. I know we’re going to be finding dust in weird places for a very long time to come. It WILL be worth it in the end. (I think I can, I think I can ….).

Here are the photos – I’m only half-way convinced that my call on the niche tile works but at least it’ll be a talking point. The last couple of odd (messy) photos showed the state of the floor outside our current bedroom (spare room) when we got home mid-afternoon on Saturday … hence the trip to our friend’s house! You can also appreciate how much cleaning up was done in the last hour before the tilers left for the day.
