A productive first day in the house

I spent the morning trying to replace my cell phone/pda. It was a bit of a drama, requiring multiple trips to the library and copy store to use the internet (ours won't be working in the house for two weeks or so).

We had to work with the gas company to get them to reinstall the meter. They didn't want to do it because they had already done it once (we had to have the plumber disconnect it for the gas pressure test at inspection). I wasn't there, but the contractor managed to convince them to do it. The satallite company also came to connect the tv, and got it working in a few hours. Props to C for handling this so smoothly!

C and I made three trips or so to finish the apartment and we are ready for our inspection tomorrow.

Here is the beginning of the bathroom tiling. I really like my choice. It is hard to do - you have to get each row perfectly level or it will be way off at the top.


Here is more of the bathroom tiling completed. I like the color variation in the tiles. I think it makes them look hand made.


Here is our living room

And what a treat to have an actual light on a switch!

Here is our de facto dining room. There's no place to really spread out and eat in the house without getting in the way of the people working. (This is in our garage with most of our stuff).
