Just a quick wrap-up on what Ryan finished up yesterday.  With Alex’s help he dry laid the tiles into the pattern we were thinking and of course we were short one mosaic tile 🙂  No biggie.  Once Alex was in bed he mixed up some mud and did the pattern so it would be dry today and he could do all the cutting and finishing around the pattern today (after a trip to go get that missing tile).

Tiled until he ran out of mud – pattern almost complete!

And here’s a picture of the washer/dryer stand:

Almost done

The stand is VERY sturdy, the top isn’t screwed down because we have to install a drain through it, then there will be a lip around the edge of the box and our baseboards will wrap around.  We’re going to use redguard to make it water proof for the emergency drain instead of getting a pan (which is tough for an oversized washer.  And since it’s for emergencies and red guard will make it water proof we’re not worried about it.

Ryan is back from home depot and getting ready to tile.  I like working from home so i can see the progress!  Oh yea and big news – the trim we had made to match our existing just came in this morning!  So we can finish the trim in the front hallway now and we have enough hopefully to do the whole upstairs when it’s ready!
