It's getting close...

Couple of big steps today.  The toilet and sink are now in place and hooked up.  I've got quite a few little touches to keep getting to, but the biggest stuff is done now.  We're still waiting on the counter top and after that we can finish the vanity tiling.  It's looking really good though.

Is it bad when the kids know where The Tile Shop is?

So we've been there a few times this week, but at least we're getting somewhere.  Today our tile guys came and leveled the floor, tomorrow tile and Thursday grout.  Our heated floor system is in place now and once the guys are done with the floor then I can finish up the walls and we'll have indoor plumbing again. 


On a separate note I'm done being jealous hearing about all the fires that my dad has been to; finally we've had a few good fires in Milwaukee.  Here's the latest one from early Monday morning:

Elsa's Teeth Are Gone!

Elsa's bottom two front teeth were on the verge of coming out this week.  And by on the verge I mean we had to tell her to start pulling on them or else a stiff breeze would take them out.  So finally last Friday she got up the courage and pulled out one of them herself.  On Saturday, while I was working, a plan was hatched to remove tooth number two.  The plan involved a string and a remote controlled car.  The plan did not involve one 18 month old...  As the string was being tied around Elsa's tooth Jenna ran up to her and grabbed the string and yanked out tooth number two.  Melissa said it was quite the scene.  So here's to Elsa, with no bottom teeth.

Drywall done...paint on...tile soon

So things are moving again.  We've gotten to the tiling now.  We're going to try to get most of the wall tile done this weekend, with a little bit of touching up the beginning of next week.  Then it's on to the floor tile.  It's starting to look like we're getting somewhere.
