Tape and Mud

This week and last they've been mudding and taping like madmen. But, the mud makes a difference. It definitely makes things come together a bit more and while they've been mudding and taping we've been making lots of design decisions- picking out floors, tiles and counter tops. Here's the usual tour, with not much more to see, except all of the blobs of mud and tape.
The kitchen with loads of plaster pails in it. This week we hit a snag when our finisher thought the ceilings were not smooth (instead he thought they would be knock down) and we thought they were smooth. You can probably guess who won that conflict. 

The ceilings are smooth now and forever.
Here's a picture of the dining room, with lots of light flooding in from the living room.
Here's from the living room side toward the stairs.


This one is in the boys room.
And another.
This one is from the boys door all the way down to the nursery. Can you see how it will look?
Taping and mudding that lovely smooth ceiling in the living room.
The bridge from the other side.

The master bedroom.

Paint choices for the kitchen. Its hard to pick so many paints!
The mud room and the back door.

So basically just lots of mud. 

But then there was this. 
Do you see that vent?
Do you see where it is?
Its IN the basement shower.
Which is not really okay.
You can't really take a shower with a giant duct in it.

We couldn't really figure out the heating guys arrived at this little arrangement. But when the master plumber saw hit he wasn't very happy.  He nearly went through the roof about the lack of options here. From his perspective, you'd have to duck a foot or two to take a shower, making it really impossible for this shower to be functional. And, so ensued the plumber-heater discussion and call outs. Three back and forths and a few different adventures in duct placement and we think this week we'll finally see some resolution, but the final product is yet to be seen.

Anyhow, nothing else new to report today. Coming soon to the blog near you: laminate floors, tile and priming! Lions, tigers and bears! oh my!

Until next week!
