Lessons Learned

At some point, I will return to this post and add some pearls of wisdom.
For now, let's start with #1.

1) Not all the pros are competent.
I had a GC build and rough in the shower for me.  His other work was solid, but when I posted pictures up on the John Bridge tile forum, they said it was a redo, for several reasons.  I couldn't believe that a 20 year pro could possibly not know what he was doing, but he clearly didn't.  We came to an agreement about the issue, and I hired a different person to redo the shower walls and pans.  Since we're now a week away from movein, I also had him tile the walls.
Consider this a sneak peek of the gorgeous Heath Ceramics tile.

Yes, we're alive

I've been furiously working on the house as well as spending way too much time at work, so I haven't had time to post blog updates.  Look for a detailed catchup post soon!
