A local tile guy, Mike, is helping us tile the tub surround and the master shower...
And a friend we met when we were building the masonry heater, Stefan, is coming up from Portland for a few days to help out with the great floor tiling project.
Stefan doing some of the dry layout for the living room.
(The living room tile from above on the stairs landing, it has been dry laid but not mortared down yet)As you can see there is no small amount of tile going down and it is certainly nice to have extra hands on deck. For Thursday and Friday of last week Stefan, myself and Dave (an upright frameworks guy) laid out/cut/mortared tile all day.

It was no small amount of cutting and piecing together to make the decorative border separating the kitchen and the living room tiles.
(The border up close)We will be laying the tile for the living room, the front hall, the pantry and the mud room this week. With luck we'll have it all laid and grouted by next weekend.

Looking like a house!
Wow!! Love all the rock-- I guess there's a little geologist in all of us.
What a lot of work. For the first time, I'm thinking maybe my timing is PERFECT. We'll move back just in time to walk in, grab a beer from the fridge, and plop on the couch beside the heater while lorien pulls pizza from the oven and turns on the hot tub.
yahoooo!!!! love the color of the tiles. And bravo on the patterns. looks beautiful.
