Our 11/07/09 Workday

How much do we love tiling? Well, at the start of this workday, we all loved it. The tile we put down last Saturday was fixed to the floor, and it looked gorgeous. So we were all pumped to get started on finishing the areas that weren't done yet on the kitchen floor. Not too many Northrop people showed up this time, in part because of the short notice of our new every-weekend schedule, but thankfully Matt, Alex, and Tina showed up since they had been there the week before and were now also tiling experts. =) Sandtown threw a bunch of University of Maryland folk in our backyard in order to give our house some sod, and to finish the deck stairs and fence while the rest of us tiled our little butts off. The kitchen floor area is now finished, and the "foyer" connecting the kitchen, powder room, and basement landing is underway. We also got some more work done on the closet shelves and window sills. We will be back next weekend for more tiling, so I hope we get more tiling experts, if not we should have a bunch by the end of the workday.


Below are a few pictures. The first is the kitchen floor at the beginning of the day, while the second is at the end, after lots of tile cutting and placing. The last pic is of the beautiful backyard.
