Preparing for tile/painting







The attached pictures are of Savannah's bedroom paint (shade your eyes!), she is going to have a beach theme.

Another photo is of the backerboard before tile.

We just had our appliances delivered Monday so they are sitting waiting for the cabinets to come hang out in the kitchen.

We have been working on preparing the bathrooms and utility room for tile flooring. Because we have wood subfloors we have to apply a cement backerboard to the floor before tiling. So far two bathrooms are ready for tile and in the third I have all of the board cut but need to apply the mortar. The backerboard has to be mortared to the subfloor and then screwed to hold it snug in place. We had planned to buy a ceramic tile we liked at Home Depot but the day we went to buy it they had a special order of Indian slate so we decided to go with that in the master bath.

Delinda has continued to paint between helping me with the bathroom floors. She has Savannah and Conley's rooms painted as of today just now leaving our bedroom, the entryway, stairway, and spare bedroom.
