Here is T grouting the Master Shower. This isn't a project that we had planned on taking on at the moment, but our wonderful banker informed us that all the tiling had to be FINISHED. lovely. Needless to say, it hasn't been a very fun weekend (although we did take time out to see Wall-e, very cute!)

LOFT PHOTOS (at last)

FYI
For those of you who haven't been keeping up with our loft project, here are the basics. We bought a building in downtown Birmingham and have renovated the top floor into 2 lofts, each loft is approximately 2200 sqft. We finally moved into our loft about 2 weeks ago after 5 years of seriously hard work. We did almost all of the work ourselves (we did hire contractors for the major stuff like HVAC, plumbing & electrical). We did everything else ourselves, including demolition (the brick walls were covered in plaster, the floors covered in either tile or lead paint), interior construction, and finishes, including refinishing the orginal hardwood floors, all of the tiling (I have personally put down every single tile in this loft - and there's more to go!), and the painting. It's been an incredible journey, but as you see from the photos, it's definitely worth it, and we're finally living in our dream home!
