Avatar is THAT Good!
Went to see avatar a bit skeptically, but I have to say I was blown away. What a visual feast. But when is this coming out?
Water Damage?
Wow, So the kids were playing the Nintendo DS it accidentally got hit and took a bath in the sink -while it was turned on! I grabbed it out as quickly as I could, cut the power, took it apart, and dried it out. After reassembling I thought it would be dead for sure, but it powered up, no problems! WOW
Final and all the rest
The Final is over, the house is done. The flooring is down, the carpet is in. All the electrical is covered, all the appliances installed. The last inspection only had problems with exterior items, for instance, Provo wanted bubble covers for all exterior outlets (except those under eaves). They also wanted a fixture on the outlet by each exit. Neither was a big deal. I’ve added a few items since, such as closet rods, shelves and blinds.
Here’s one before and after
Tile
Here’s the tile not cleaned or sealed, but here it is.
This is the bath. Funny thing about the toilet was that part of the reason I tore out the tile was because the tile was not level around the toilet and the toilet was wobbily. So when I put the tile in perfectly level and the toilet was still wobbily, I came to find out the toilet itself was cast poorly. Was able to fix and now the toilet sits tight.
Painting and Staining
The color pallet for the paint was basically dark and light, black and white. The walls for the most part are white – more specifically alabaster white. Where the walls were to receive maple panels, I painted them black. The wood accents are stained dark, like the beam and jambs. The feature panels were stained natural and then topped with an acrylic. The cabinetry, including the island, was painted with white lacquer.
