Actual vs. Planned

On Friday, Travis and I drove to Missoula to check out the Montana Stone Gallery which has a ton of granite slabs and a few other stones. We were trying to pick out kitchen countertops and considering the service was really poor, the whole experience was really overwhelming. We think we found a granite that would work really well. It was also nice to get out of dodge for the evening too.

We both have this weekend off, so we had hoped to get a lot of work done, and it never goes as good as we planned. We still made a fair amount of progress though. Travis and his dad worked on the siding around the big picture window. It was really time consuming because they had to frame out the half eliptical type window.

Travis finished framing out the bar earlier this week. Just to get somewhat an idea of the layout of the basement, you can see the theater room in the back of the picture.

Travis also did more framing in the theater room earlier this week. It is basically done except he still has to put a little bit more trim between where the bigger portion of the columns meet the smaller portion.

I was able to get one more wall done in the Jack & Jill bathroom which proved to be a little harder than I imagined (as you can tell by how dirty my tiles ended up getting).

Hopefully Sunday goes as we plan and we get a lot of work done.
