Doors and Floors day

OK, so we mixed a bit too much thinset and decided to race against the clock and use it all...or rather Seth (no relation) did. He thought he'd have a leisurely day at the cottage and attempt to lay down one floor. Well, the slate on the first floor went down so easily that he thought he'd try the second floor, which went down even easier! He still had 2 gallons of thinset left, so he tiled the downstairs shower...it all looks awesome!

Me, mixin the thinset

The upstairs slate tile....it looks so much better than the picture


Downstairs slate...awesome


While the Seths worked the floors, Greg continued with the trim downstairs while Josh worked on the dormers upstairs. Greg wanted to do something special over the old double doors and he worked on it a long time.



Here he is making a pattern for the pediment

You can just see it here, a wonderful sunburst over the doorway, on the Sunnyside of the street.

Then we went boating....it was 92 degrees yesterday, in May, in Maine!!

  1. The big question- are you painting the wood inside? Or is it going to be natural.

  2. You guys are lean, mean working machines! The sunburst looks awesome. Not to be sappy, but you both really should be so proud of yourselves-what an incredible job you've done. I check the blog daily. xo Peggy O'
