Sunny Day


George the framer was working today, making the bathtub frame for the master bath. Work continues on the front corbels and braces, so far looking nice. Windows are in over the entryway. We spent a few hours yesterday going over details on additional framing work. Bathtubs were delivered. We're going to have to move the drain for the guest master, digging up concrete.
Pics on flickr.
For a look at the tubs, the Guest suite tub is here, and the Master tub can be found here.
We also ordered the wood for the flooring, 8-12 inch planks. The wood will be specially dried and prepared for radiant heat flooring, and we already met with the installer.

Phoenix Trip




Took a long weekend in Phoenix and a good time was had by all. It was nice to get away for some fun in the sun, and watching OSU and Michigan, Detroit Lions and Arizona, and a couple others.

Didn't like how those entries turned out below. I tried to do the entry from flickr. Click on the pics for a better view. Flickr has more pics and comments.
