Bathroom Floor Tiles


Adair and Hailey have finished tiling around the tub, and are now working on the bathroom floor tiles. They have done a good job, and Hailey is getting ready for grout.
Everyone is working hard on this renovation, as we start putting everything back together, it is looking much better.
Adair has started on the laminate floor in the kitchen, while Hailey does the grouting in the bathroom.

Bathroom renovation




Hailey and Adair were continuing today with installing tiles around the new bathtub. They are doing a great job, and the tiles they picked are awesome! As per usual, older houses, have "not so perfect" lines, so they have had their hands full, trying to make everything perfect.



But they have, with lots of measuring and tile cutting, this bathroom will be one of the best rooms in the house. Pretty good for "first time renovators".



They had a budget, and picked out everything for this room, including the new vanity, and floor tiles.. can't wait to see it all together.



I have been painting. I have now put primer on three bedrooms and the hallway. Also, two coats of ceiling paint on all rooms. The fourth small bedroom, needs some wall prep before we can continue, but with the primer tinted close to the finished colour, it is already looking better. Jeremy was "materials manager" today, getting us all the things we needed. It is handy to be working on a house right in town, stores are not far.




Tomorrow, I will prime all the doors and window trim. Some are presently bright pink, or purple or green. Zinsser primer works best on all of this. Once that last bedroom is primed, then it will be time to put on a coat of finish colour.
