First Snow Storm of the Season...

So much heavy snow on our walnut tree, luckily it was a warm day and

no harm to the tree!

The Potty!!!!

We now have a toilet on the main floor, yippppeee!!! We did get plenty of exercise running either up or down the stairs, but this is sure more convienent!

We are practically done with this project! The cabinet maker is coming over tomorrow to measure (let's hope, sometimes he doesn't show up, we even gave a deposit of half down almost two weeks ago), a little tile work will be left

and then this project will be done.

Hmmmm, what shall we work on next...

Actually, Builder Mike has been busy cleaning out the garage. I started it just over a week ago by taking everything out of the garage, Builder Mike then installed our old kitchen cabinets for storage and a work top/bench. When it is complete and everything is in it's place (is that even possible?), then I'll take some photos to show how organized we are. In the meantime for me, I have slaving away at a research paper-boy do I hate research...

Main floor bath getting closer...

See, it wasn't that long between posts...
The pictures are pretty self explanitory, I have to say that I love the light coming in from the larger window, that's my favorite thing about this project. I'm not sure these photos really show the real color of the tile and walls. I was going for a vintagey feel with the "ocean tide" color of tile. I went through 9 little paint samples from Home Depot before I found the color I was happy with. Glad they only cost a few bucks.

Before grout...

...after grout, I love it!!!

Builder Mike busy tiling.

We are almost there!!!

Now we need to order our cabinets. We will use the same guys that have done the rest of the house. Off-white cabinets with bead board insets. We will be a showcase of their work.

Main floor bathroom

By the time I decided to start taking photos of the bathroom, it was already sheetrocked, taped , and textured. I found the color of tile I wanted, but choosing a paint color was not so easy. Good thing Home Depot sells tiny sample of paint for only a few bucks...I ended up buying 8 different colors to decide on the room color. I painted the bathroom myself instead of hiring it out like the rest of the painting in this project. I will however hire Fireman Aaron to cut in the wall to ceiling when they come to visit next, mine is barely passable! It's a vintage bluish oceany color...Builder Mike is currently tiling right at this minute, more photos to come soon

(promise!)...

Roughing it without a houseboat at Powell...

...let me explain...

we were suppose to have our scheduled week with the Blue Buoy this particular week, but as a group we wanted to sell and upgrade our houseboat. Unfortunately, the Blue Buoy sold the week before our scheduled date. So, let's check out Wahweap...we decided to camp at Lone Rock in Wahweap Bay. Our truck really doesn't like to drive in sand, much less pull a boat loaded with stuff. We got stuck in the sand near an opening in the wall of people and boats. It was still Powell, lots of water, not so blue skies, and we cut the trip extremely short. We stayed three nights instead of our planned six. I'm a houseboater thru n thru! We are still looking for a boat for the group. By the time next spring rolls around, we will be either with

our group now or join another group.

A houseboat with a air conditioning and a kitchen are a MUST!!!
