Why don't our plumbers / electricans ever leave before 10?

10:30 pm and Mark is still working upstairs on the shower rough in. Of course he didn't get here until 8:30ish and he worked a full day as a commercial plumber, but what in the world? Since last Feb our house has been a buzz of activity. I believe that it all started last year with removing one little floor tile in the kitchen. And the ball just kept on rolling.


The bathroom tile arrived yesterday. 500lbs of it. Small hex for the floor of the bathroom and 2" white squares for the shower stall and rim of the shower (well at least I think that is the plan) But that won't be todays project at all.
Todays project will be 1/4 inch drywall. Yep the time has come to attempt to cover our old wallpapered walls with 1/4 panels of new drywall. Our goal is to make the walls smoother than what they are right now. That's our goal. But this is our first attempt at a full room of board and mud. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Where did you purchase the 2" hex tile from?

The 2" were square. The hex stuff is the normal run of the mill. sorry.
