Grout on Backsplash

Here are the most recent pictures of the backsplash. It now has grout. It should be sealed early this week, and then it will be complete!!!



I have been working on getting quotes for seeding the yard this week. It looks as though things have slowed down a little bit in Calgary, as we got some quotes that were half of what they were last fall. The quotes were for tilling the entire lot, rock picking/removal, harrowing, and seeding. Looks like we won't be able to get it done until mid to late June though, since I didn't get on this sooner---okay, it isn't all my fault--we were planning on putting in trees this spring, and then seeding in the fall, but we changed our minds just last week......seed now, trees in the fall....
Our bathroom mirrors should also be installed this week sometime, so that will be nice. With all the rain expected this weekend as well, I think Todd was planning on working inside on baseboards, and I will continue to sort through all our stuff in the basement---yeah--unpacking!!!

More Deck and Kitchen Backsplash

The back deck is finished on the office side, so all that remains is about 5 feet x 14 feet on the west side of the deck, out our bedroom patio door.
Yeah, we have enough deck in place to BBQ--steaks last night, and chicken burgers tonight!!!

The kitchen backsplash--Brown Tumbled Travertine in a subway pattern, with a Tumbled Travertine Renaissance Medallion.

This will still need to have grout applied, which is being done tomorrow, and will have a sealer put on it that gives it a wet look, so the tiles will appear much more brown after that is done.
