Still haven’t posted those bathroom updates... No worries. They’ll come, eventually.We really don’t have much information about our place here. Nothing much in writing and very few photos. King County Archives may have some old photos, but we haven’t made it in there (it’s by appointment only) to view what they have.However!!!! While I was looking for something completely different the other day,

OK, long overdue for an update. We recently started using the shower! Only a few minor projects left, but the saga of the bathroom is nearing an end.The chimney saga still isn’t complete. Will post pictures and an update on that at a later date, too.We are happy with the results and look forward to hopefully be doing with any major projects by the time winer comes. Somehow I don’t think that is

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!

September 25, 2007 The tile has been grouted and sealed and the radiant floor heating works like a charm! Toasty feet! September 26, 2007 Chester thinks the floor is nice, too!

September 1, 2007 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. September 2, 2007 And the tile is then set into place on the wet thin set mortar.

July 27, 2007 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. July 28, 2007 Two layers of self-leveling thin set mortar are poured before the surface is ready for the hex and mosaic tile.

New pictures from Sunday, September 17, 2006. Ben has finished the floor under the current hot water heater as much as possible for now. Once we know where the new on-demand unit will be installed, then the plumbing can be rerouted and prepped for installation. The subfloor won't be completely installed until that is done because the new shower (with a Kohler Memoirs Neo-Angle base) will be in

The subfloor is 90% done in the bathroom. The rest will be done once the water heater/hot water on demand issue is resolved. We should have the estimate and details/restrictions from Glendale Heating and Air Conditioning this week. We went to United Tile in Renton and Home Depot in Tukwila yesterday to try and track down some hex tile. Found some, but not exactly what we like. We'll be trying
