Today the brick will be finished, essentially completing all of the exterior except for things like downspouts and a little sidewalk demo. As the grout dries and lightens in color, we are hoping for a closer match to the existing. We may put a preservative on the new in order to darken the brick a bit. But it looks great, and after the last lift is added to complete the stairway section, I'll get a picture of the finished product.
Tiling started yesterday. Brendan and I put the metal lath down for Burt (the tile artiste) to fill with a preparatory compound,
then he laid tile in the kitchen area and entry way. It is dirty, but beautiful.
The wallboarders are now feeling the pressure to keep ahead of him, hence the Saturday work. We couldn't be more pleased that they are feeling pushed.
