Days137-139: Tile Shower/flooring , Concrete for driveway/walkway/stoop and more!

Moving right along and I'm so excited! I haven't seen all this in person, my husband went out yesterday and my father in law went this morning. I will be going on Sunday to deliver all the lights/fans/light bulbs.

All of the concrete has been poured! This includes the stoop, the walkway, driveway and back porch. We weren't sure how much they were going to pour around back and it looks like they only gave us a little bit of a landing. We have decided to put some pavers down to make a larger area. We'll probably do this shortly after moving in. The driveway looks great, I am glad they put those angled corners in where it meets the road. The stoop; I am SO glad that huge hole is gone. They built up a sort of scaffolding to support the concrete.

Today all the stone is being installed on the outside and the inside around the fireplace. The same workers are installing our brick steps right now as well. Landscaping is supposed to be happening later on today!

This is where we'll be adding pavers later on

 

All of the tile has been laid! They still have to grout, I can't wait to see this in person.

 

This is the downstairs guest bathroom, I like this color its a grey-ish brown.

 

 

I *think* all the trim is done. I'm not 100% sure but they uncovered all the columns and wainscoting.

I see the grate on the ceiling for the HVAC which means the units are probably set up outside!

More trim that I flipping love.

OMG I am dying right now! Hubby took these pics below of our bathroom and shower.

*angels singing* seriously love this. I'm so glad they did a brick pattern in here like on the floor!

I love how the mosaic breaks up the floor and shower a little bit!

eeek! I love the brick pattern. These are 12''x24'' tiles.
