Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, *Saturday,* and Tuesday

We had a lot of progress again on the house over the past few days.  Wednesday brought with it the very cool ability to walk on our tiled cellar stairs:

And he tiled the floors in the powder room and the pantry:

By the time I got home, Tile Guy had made considerable progress on the shower in the childrens' bath too (even though it wasn't right.)





Of course, it was on Wednesday that I realized that the subway tiles were incorrectly installed.  Almost a week later, I still haven't decided if I want the shower tiles redone, or just the powder room. 

On Thursday, Tile Guy completed the shower:

And, he installed the tile on the floor of the children's bath:

I know that the floor is totally dirty here in this picture, but the floor is so cool looking!  Here is a slightly less dirty corner:


Friday, was completion of the floor in the chidren's bath, and the backsplash behind the oven:

Joern was also super busy on Friday evening, he was installing the speakers in the office and Erbse's room:

Surprisingly, Tile Guy was back on Saturday, to build the wall around the bathtub:





Sadly, no Tile Guy on Monday.  We've started to realize that he simply may not work on Mondays.  But, we were surprised on Monday morning, by a visit from the EnBW, the electricity company.  They came to tell us that they will begin digging a new electrical line for us next week.  Evidently, the original plan was that we would share a line with the building lot next door, but the people from the electric company didn't feel comfortable with this decision, so they will be giving us a new line.  But, the good news is that by the end of next week, or early the following week, we FINALLY should have our own electricity and phone lines!

We also had a surprise visit with Mr. B.  I had the day off of work as a preventative measure (the doctor wrote me out sick,)  so I was able to be at the house when Mr. B came.  Mr. B came to check on the progress of the house.  He checked if we had ordered the interior doors, and also told us that someone would be coming to install the waterproofing on top of the garages.  Wahoo!

Today, Tile Guy was busy again.  He finished the backsplash in the kitchen:

And he started the master bath:

The plaster guys also started today.  They spent the day covering over the pipes:

Pantry

Erbse's room

Its really starting to look like the tiles, without the changes, will be finished by Friday!  I'm interested to see how long the plaster guys need.  Once the plaster guys are done, then it is time for the floors!

It looks like we're having a good week!
