we received our sink in the mail today... KitchenSink

its a big sink...it will just fit the 36" wide cabinet (here is a picture of the sink cabinet with the sink template)
now we can finalize the granite order, it shouldnt be long before that comes in.



i started tiling the tub surround in the 2nd floor bath...the tiles are "rustic" and have irregular edges, so i rely heavily on the laser level to make sure that everything is aligned!




i love to install tile. i sit on the edge of the tub, with everything that i need in the tub with me, listen to the radio, drink my vitamin water and glue tiles to the wall...its very relaxed and therapudic. a calm that is broken every now an again by the sudden outbursts of "mudding" frustration coming from the next room!

all those shims are just holding up the bottom row of tile...i am afraid that without them that i would come in tomorrow and find that all of the tiles have slid off of the wall into the tub--its just a precaution. leaving a shallow space below the last row of tiles allows for an ample bead of caulk.
