Floors, Kitchen backsplash and plumbing

The last coat of poly went on the floors last night, so there was lots of action finishing things up at the house today.

The tilers were back and installed the kitchen backsplash and the remaining tile in the master bathroom. Both of these projects required the counter tops be in.

I'm pleased and relieved with the way the kitchen backsplash turned out. I redesigned this no fewer than five times in the last two weeks. Here is the section on the range wall







And here is the section I added with extra tile in the nook



The master bathroom tile was also complete and both areas should be grouted tonight.



Our range had moved as far as the nook. I'm expecting it will land in its final "home" soon. This is the 36" 6 burner Blue Star range.



There were lots of plumbing fixtures in as well. They included...

the powder room



the boys' bath



the guest bath



and the kitchen



The shower and shower/tub fixtures were installed. These are not the fixtures we ordered, but they were roughed in wrong. The fixtures were supposed to have porcelain accents and match the sink faucets, but I'm sure I'll forget this soon.







The pedestal sinks were almost done





And the claw foot tub was completed





All in all, an outstanding day! The doors were also all hung and the door hardware was going on. They should be very busy for the next two days finishing everything up, but we hope to be moving in on Friday!
