A good house: Back at it

A couple of weeks off, The Master's look fresh and as though they had been relaxed, but a week back in reality from two weeks on a cruise ship wipes the relax off pretty fast. And then its back to work at the house.

This weekend was all about tiling. The bathroom walls are pretty much all covered now, a couple of spots left but they are dependent on the cabinetry being put in first (I think). Plus we ran out of the glass tiles.

The tiles were probably the hardest thing for me to visualise. You have take such a small sample and extrapolate it in a 3-dimensional room that doesn't physically exist, with items that haven't been purchased. We picked the tiles relatively easily, but I have been concerned about them. With the walls mostly tiled I remain uncertain. I hope that by the time the entire room is finished I will be satisfied. If not, well too bad for me I guess. The Shadow, who does have a good internal eye for visualisation, is quite comfortable. So that gives me peace.

On Saturday I went around the house and filled in all the nail holes with filler. SO many little holes.

Having not been to the house for a couple of weeks I was surprised to see the state of the backyard - Gaia is a real jerk! But we'll see next week who has the last laugh, Gaia or Senor Roundup.
