Progress has continued on the ranch, even if it feels slow at times. And since our lake cottage is under contract (woo hoo!), we need to get back to the Midwest to pack up the cottage’s dishes, books, as well as our furniture, rugs, and art. Unfortunately, we continue to find that we need to have eyes on the build as mistakes continue to be made.
I’ve written a couple of other posts on the importance of being at a home build site. One issue was early on, before the concrete was poured and the other occurred during framing. This time, in the butler’s pantry the space over the sink is supposed to have a mirror (not the tile intended for the kitchen).
We spent 45 minutes walking around the house with the tile installers and Aracelli, selecting grout for the kitchen backsplash.
And we also selected the direction of the tile for the master bathroom, including the water closet and shower stall.
We also planned out the tile for the bar bathroom….
And the laundry room floor turned out beautifully, even without being grouted.
And tile is underway in the guest bathroom as well.
Unfortunately, even after all the walking around and talking about each room, another mistake was made. The tile installers put the master bathroom floor tile in the guest bathroom, which is supposed to have white and black hexagon tiles.
As a result of the mistakes, it’s challenging to plan when to head back North to pack up and COVID-19 spiking again isn’t helping either. But I’m sure we will figure it out and get ‘er done. In the meantime, what do you think of the tile selections? We would love to hear from y’all! Stay safe, stay healthy, and thanks for stopping by!
Hugs, Libby
Can’t beat Matt B.’s remark, so I will tip my hat to him.
Love the utility room tile!
Looks like your builders were figuring things out through tile and error.
Wow…. 🤣
