Lights almost done, and some tile info

We took a quick trip out to the land to see what has happened. The end of the month is quickly closing in! One of the painters was there touching up some of the spots in the dining room. Also, Tile Guy #2 was also there, prepping for the bathroom. I believe all the tile arrived for the bathroom, but he had not yet started. We talked a little about the shelf in the shower and the use of the bullnose around the window, but that was about it.

We had changed the plan for the shelf in the shower. Originally the slope was going to start at the seat and gradually flare out to have a 3" or 4" ledge. Then I was told it would be better to start the slope further up the wall. Now we are back to the original plan again:

Two other brief notes--

A quick trip through the basement revealed the ductwork has been nearly completed for HVAC.

And the deck now has railing for the stairs.

We left from there and went by Lowes, not expecting to find much that we liked. We actually found several, so we are now nearly done with all the lighting purchases. We have just a couple more to get--one for the foyer (which is on an odd slope) and some fluorescent lights in several places. We are also a couple of mirrors short (powder room and basement bath).
