Last weekend’s bathroom progress

jeremy — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 23:28:38 +0000

I got the shower caulked. The caulk turned out to be almost a perfect match for the corner pieces that we chose. Yay! I also made the tub surround. This entailed 1/4″ Hardiboard, and some framing. The manufacturer suggests two service …

First Grouting

jeremy — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:29:21 +0000

With all the tiles in place (except for around the tub), it’s finally time to grout the tiles. We decided to go with the epoxy grout. Even though it’s more trouble to put down, and I had to work pretty …

Savannah, Tybee

It’s been a while since we’ve been in Macon, but things are going ok. We have the house more or less unpacked, and we have a list of repairs/improvements to make. In spite of the work to do, we managed …

jeremy — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:35:49 +0000

This year’s flood came fast and early, but fortunately, it wasn’t as alarming as the 2009 flood. The city got the sandbag operation in gear on March 1. The forecasts didn’t even call for a temporary diking operation along Lindenwood …
