| Here's the tile in what we call the second bathroom, really nice stuff I found on Craigslist. |
 |
| My Dad playing with his new toy, the wet saw. It's the only thing that made this project manageable. |
 |
| Even Limei got in on the action. In the background is the master shower, the purple stuff is a paint on vapor barrier. |
 |
| While we were tiling the shingles arrived. |
 |
| Thinset mortar on the last section of the master shower. |
 |
| My Dad laying what could very well be the last tile in the shower. It was a huge relief to have this portion done. At 70 square feet it was one of the larger areas we did, and the fact that we were tiling walls didn't make it any easier. |
 |
| The start of the master bath floor, I think it was about midnight when I took this. We put in some long hours (especially my Dad) and late nights the entire past week. |
 |
| The corner shelves and soap dish all went in the next day. They seemed to be in there pretty good but the wood support beams helped set the proper angle so water would run off. |
 |
| The master bath. We had just enough 6 inch dark tiles to put a row in at the end, eliminating a fair amount of cutting and saving us from having to open another case. Overall the tiling was a huge project and a ton of work that I never would have been able to do without the help of my Dad. Thanks Dad, you're the best! |
 |
| Phew, glad that tile is done. Now we can start hauling in 7 foot long bundles of red oak flooring :) |
 |
| Ted, my friend and the flooring guy looking like his normal cheerful self. |

| This shot gives a nice perspective of the pile that we hauled in today. 1400 square feet total. I was impressed with the overall quality of the wood. It's a #2 Common Red Oak, which means that there can be some knots, bad boards, and color variation but it's a lot better than I had expected. A lot of it looked like really good high quality stuff, and the knots just add character ;) |

| Funny angle, I know, but I love how the light was hitting it from this angle. Hopefully it will look something like that after it is installed. |

Thanks for the pictures, Chad. It is really looking great. I look forward to seeing the finished product in April.
Great job on the tiling. When I see all those little white spacers I realize a lot of hard work went in. It certainly was worth it.
I have a dad just like that. They are great, aren't they?
