LinkedInI grout you

Grout’s in the wall now – it’s a light grout that matches the color of the big tiles. I rather like how it is looking right now. Also, note that you can see the rest of the shower in the tile. How meta!
Not many new modifications have been made to the main studio area – a second part to the baseboards, connecting the floor to the wall boards was just put in. Not worth showing specifically.

Also this is my building. I’d have thought most people know what it looks like by now, but who knows, some people are SLOW. Just kidding.
it’s so shiny! what does it mean?!
Oh, you should never watch (or re-watch) silly YouTube videos prior to writing (see: Double Rainbow).
In other news, I was allowed in the unit today! Yesterday, the contractor told me that I was not allowed to go in, because they were doing floor varnishing. However, that means that I wanted to go in today!.

They look really nice – and there has only been one coat of varnish on it. I believe a second coat will be going on a little later. The wood, though, is a really warm gold with a pale red kind of running through it. At this point, my studio looks more like a ballet studio than a living space, but eh, it’s nice!
To compare with before, here’s a comparison shot of before the sanding/varnish, and after.

It’s rather handy being able to have an excuse to use the same photo twice in one post, really.
Work is going pretty well otherwise – I received an email from one of my neighbors saying that the dust and varnish were starting to irritate an asthmatic patient in one of the units. I contacted the contractor, so he’ll make sure to follow some extra precautions for my neighbor’s benefit.
there’s a floor
Well, hardwood is in! Now they’ve got some sanding to do

It’s a really beautiful maple floor – I think it looks really good. Some close up shots are in order – you can kind of see the pattern/grain in the wood. Steps remaining for the floor are things like sanding and varnishing – maybe a light stain, who knows. I rather like this color

Bathroom tiles are coming along nicely – the remainder of the shower area that was missing tiles has been filled in. The bathroom floor is also being put in.

Those were all from Friday – the following are from today (Monday morning). You can see in the first two pics that the floor is raised up a significant amount from before – and we’re trying to figure out how to deal with that height.

Today, baseboards went in, and some of the problematic seams on the walls and a missing portion of the ceiling popcorn were fixed.
