Pumpkins ghoulore!

We spent the better part of the afternoon/evening of October 27th carving the 18 pumpkins we grew this year in addition to a few others brought by guests. Next year we're shooting for WAY more, but we'll need more carvers to come help!

Hope everyone had a spooky Halloween!

The mirror has been hung!

And we found a waste basket. Now we just need the towel bar/ring and the glass shelf to complete the wash area.

While Liz is away in Wyoming and Grandma Montana is visiting Jackson, Ben gets all of the tile laid out before the thin set is spread and the tile installed.

Ben lays out the pattern of the radiant floor heating system before pouring the first layer of self-leveling thin set. The connection to the thermostat is tested at each stage to make sure it is functioning properly.

Two layers of self-leveling thin set mortar are poured before the surface is ready for the hex and mosaic tile.
