recycled mosiac glass tiles

Mirror is hung, tiling completed.

Bathroom backsplash done, just needs to be grouted and sealed. 

Installing the bathroom backsplash: mosiac glass tiles with recycled glass content.
















Suprisingly easy installation with the mesh mosiac backing.


















Close up of it - it's actually slightly iridescent, but you can't quite tell in this pic.















Just sitting in the Mart Stam.

No Longer Substandard / Condemned

I passed the final-final-final inspection today, removing the casa from the Condemned and Substandard List!

Final Final'd, esa!

Happy New Year!
After a failed first attempt, I received my passing Final-Final Inspection from the City on New Years Eve Day, yay! This means substantial completion is reached and it is safe and sturdy. Now I just need to pass the Police Department's inspection to get removed from the Condemned and Substandard Building list, making it officially live-able. :D

Thanks, Rachel, for the following photos from back in September... I'll post them to show some perspective on how far it's come...


















Day two of homeownership. Wow, I sure looked pumped to get going.














Ah yes, I was excited. And I had very clean pants and gloves.
