The minute the last tile was carefully placed, it was time to begin hauling all of the spare bits and tools out of the Under Hill Suite and begin the cleanup so the grout could be applied tomorrow. There are only a few small details to take care of, and then it will be time to call for a final inspection by the city for occupancy. This was the first time we could grab some pictures without stacks of boxes and scattered tools throughout the room. Suddenly, it didn’t feel like a construction project. Stay tuned as we start the decoration to make it as magical as the North Star Suite next door…
Last of the tile
Today, Julianne laid the last bits of tile on the Under Hill Suite in the kitchenette floor and half of the entry area to facilitate access to the magical room. Peter was busy in the bathroom doing the same. By the end of the day tomorrow, they will lay the last of the tiles and switch to the grout. We are days away from calling the final inspection and then the final sprint to the open house on June 7th. There are twenty-eight work days to go!
Great progress this past week
It is always exciting to return from my time away and see how much the crew has accomplished in my absence. This trip, I was gone for three and a half days. They loaded the pieces for Kraays. Keith was busy welding armatures for Vala’s Pumpkin Patch. Kendra was busy painting in the shop. Out in the Under Hill Suite in the Hazelnut Inn, tilework continued. And much was accomplished in the Copper Crown Suite as well. Upstairs, Matt worked on sculpting the heavy beams. Peter hung the bathroom door. And the boys made great progress on the ceiling framing and backer boards. It is all coming together quickly!
