Little bit of life and a little bit of tile..

I think this year is going to be full of go-go-go with the continued house remodel and Ciera & Dylan’s wedding, there isn’t going to be much down time. I’m not complaining, just being honest that things are going to seem like it is slow, but that is because life is more important than the house at the moment. Please be patient and I’ll make sure to update the blog as much as I can, just know it is going to be at a much slower pace right now.

The last you all knew tile was down in most of the kitchen, it is now grouted, one of the hallways are completed and we tore out where the original ‘bar’ was and have it framed. We did not put up the walls as we can do that later and have kept the old sink in there to use for all of the remodel clean up. However, we needed to get this framed so we knew where the tile should ‘sit’. This is going to become a closet and wine storage, so walls and a door were needed.

I’m also adding a picture of a gator. This gator resides in the creek that backs up to our neighborhood. The city tries to relocate them, so it is special when you actually get to see one this big. Starting in April they will be replacing the bridge that we saw him by, so I’m sure they will find him and relocate him. Sad, just because he is cool to see from afar.

You can see in this picture where we framed the old bar area
picture a full wall and frame around the door – this will become a closet and wine storage
Normally doors are pretty easy to hang. This door was not pre-hung so took a little more time (more than we like to admit) as we had to router where the hinges would be, etc. I do have a really cool door handle but that is still sitting here. Chad is putting it off as he is not wanting to mess it up (have to drill/cut out all of that) and with it being glass… I think he will put it off until as long as I let him.
