Here you can see the actual working part of the Vent A Hood in place. A simple investigation on the roof this morning, led Tom into an entire day of work. I mostlty watched Seafair Sunday and hydro races on tv. Posted by Picasa

A closer look reveals a hint of slate without all the movement. Posted by Picasa

This shot does not do it justice but, I really found that this is it. We did a good job. Posted by Picasa

Yipeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The tile setter has begun. At first glance, and this was it, did we like what we picked out? This view makes it look like it may be too dark. Posted by Picasa

This wall in the familyroom still needs batt and board. That will happen but,,,,,,,,,, first the tile!! Posted by Picasa

Here is a shot from the "piano room area" of the familyroom looking in at the fireplace and built in TV. The tile weighs 4,000 pounds . Sure hope all the contractors won't let the floor cave in. UGH!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by Picasa

Now we have the view form the eating area to the familyroom and again the floor is readied for tile.The tile has also been delivered and the boxes are placed around the floor. Posted by Picasa

A view from the active kitchen part into the eating area also shows the begining of the tile floor soon to come. Posted by Picasa

Here is a shot of the working part of the kitchen. The island of course is gone. The important part of this shot is the "Backer board" on the floor.  Posted by Picasa
