We are making steady progress on the tile for house 1.  Unfortunately our tile contractor is busy and we are not getting the whole crew, just the one tilesetter is working and not full days.  The trades inevitably do this when busy, they can't please everybody so instead they spread themselves thin.  Still, we are seeing some forward progress and we hope later the entire crew will be available to tackle the complete project.

For tile in the shower, we want to make sure the walls are adequately waterproofed. We aren't tiling directly onto drywall either, we use the diamond back tile board for the walls, and we have a layer of roll on red seal on top of that to provide added water resistance.
