The winter weather continues to hamper progress at Shadowood.  It has been really cold again as you can see from this picture of the frozen ground.

Now that's cold!

Then it gets just warm enough to rain like crazy and freeze again at night.  The tile saw water pan froze (sitting on the back porch), but we got it thawed out.  No damage, thank goodness.

Change order!  We decided to tile the whole floor in the dining room, so we really need that tile saw again.

Backer board in the dining room

John got the backer board installed on Wednesday so I could start tiling today.  It is somewhat warmer now, so I spent the day laying tiles.

Dining room

We think it’s going to look nice, and will work out better when we have the table fully extended.

Tiles are still wet

John also finished the upstairs shower drain plumbing and replaced the floor under the shower pan.

Closing up the shower drain

Then he laid backer board over the whole floor up there and we’re ready to tile that floor.  Unless we make another change, that’s the last floor to be tiled.  We’ll still have to tile the walls in that shower, but there’s more plumbing to do before we can finish that.

We’re taking a few days off to work on the house, then it’s off to Myrtle Beach for some well deserved R & R!!!  Hopefully it will be a time to rest and return with new vigor.
