Busy days and nights. The beams have been verathaned. The shower and fireplace are nearing completion. Tomorrow will be a foray into flooring. This weekend will feature some prodigious laying of hardwood.
The shower's looking pretty good. Fixtures will be bronze. As we went along, I picked up on the following:
- Different size tile comes in different thickness
- Keeping to a single size as much as possible makes life easier because of the first bullet and because 2' != 1' + 1' because of grout.
- The 2' squares are awesome.
- To finish the grout, go over it a couple times with the rough side of a two-surface sponge. Then do the smooth side, it works nice.
Next up is touching up the grout and then sealing it. And to decide on a door. Probably simple clear glass; as few surfaces as possible.

I threw up a surf rack and a hanging device for the neoprene. The garage is slowly becoming more spacious.

Week of tile
Wall tiling is progressing steadily. All that's left for the 12x12s is the foot of the wall, door frame, and shelf face.
