Another two weeks of working on the house have gone by, and the house is really taking shape. Paint appeared on the walls when we finished on the 17th, and caulking all the trim and doors and various other places continued on the 24th. It is amazing how many things need a dab of caulk to finish their look. Can't see all the nails and holes we made in the trim doors and the like.
But our focus on the 24th was to get started on the kitchen floor. Through some luck and graces of an actual interior designer, we obtained a bunch of ceramic tile. So we are tiling the kitchen, powder room and upstairs bathrooms with the tile. The only problem with that is the fact that laying tile takes a lot more time and effort than most other surfaces. So on the 24th we began laying cement backerboard on the kitchen subfloor. The backerboard acts as a stabilizer to keep the tile floor from flexing as you walk across it. This prevents tiles from cracking and the grout from being pushed out too.
Here are two pics. One is of the a few of us installing the backerboard, and the other is one of the upperstairs bedrooms looking sharp with paint and everything.
