Screw baby, screw!

Monday, the Tombleson crew arrived on schedule but were gone by 7:45 am. Without the decking screws and with no plumbing or electrical done in the BBQ room, there wasn't really anything for them to do.

Tuesday, John Laughton showed up to help Dave and Justo map out exactly where the cabinets and island were going in the BBQ room which was necessary for the plumber to get started. Mark the tile guy also showed up to measure out the electrical grids for the under floor heating in the BBQ room and guest house. And then the plumber arrived and started prepping the BBQ room. At the end of the day Tuesday, the screws finally arrived from Florida!

Speaking of the tile guy, we finally got the counter top choice resolved. We're going with the Dekton tops in matte white and we're very happy that Mark was able to secure us a good price. They're going to be the perfect compliment to the beautiful cabinets. We did have a bit of a scare, however. Turns out the Porcelanosa Zeus tile we specced for the master bath has been discontinued and is no longer available in the U.S. although we were able to find some still left in Florida. But, of course, not enough. The good news is there is still plenty of it in Spain and there are no shipping fees to get it here. Just have to wait 7-10 weeks but since that installation is in phase two, it shouldn't be a problem. Yesterday, we ordered it, just to be sure.












Look closely at the sixth photo above. We have quite the healthy deer population this year and they love to hang out in the lower part of the property.

Today, the electrician is coming to start on the BBQ room. Since we had to leave for school before he got here, we met with Dave and Justo and used a sharpie to mark where we wanted the electrical outlets and switches to go. And then Dave and Justo started on the deck!!!
