The Weekend it Snowed in October

It was a productive weekend.

Kel and Ryan tiled our bathroom downstairs and installed our brand new Toto Drake comfort height elongated bowl toilet, which I purchased from F.W. Webb in Salem yesterday.


Then, they tiled the guest bathroom upstairs with the cool, retro seafoam green "linear" tiles that I picked up yesterday from Stone One in Methuen. They alternated the tiles so that the grain goes horizontal, then vertical, then horizontal. Looks great.

Here's a better photo of the color/texture that I found online:


Kel suggested that we get some "Oops" paint at Home Depot and throw a fresh coat on the stairs. When I went to the reject paint shelf at Home Depot, they didn't have much...except for this $7 gallon of Behr paint in a fun schoolhouse red color. Why not, right? So Chris painted that today, and I think it looks great. He was contemplating a Redkins stencil painting but then got wind of today's score...and thought better of it.



Chris also made good use of his Husqvarna chain saw late morning, cutting up countless fallen branches after Salt Wall 2.0's first snow. He's now obsessed with getting our trees pruned, a task that is likely to cost upwards of $1,000. I think I'd rather a bedroom set.

I spent the day putting 25 fan blades together. You don't want to know how long it took me.

We also bought all of the materials for our stairs at Home Depot, which our floor guy is going to assemble this week after he installs 721 sq feet of white oak flooring.


Take one last look at the subfloors, all cleaned up!


Very excited for the flooring to get installed. More on that this week!

Last but not least... how cute are our GC and his BM (business manager)?
