I've pretty much completed the tile work downstairs and sart grouting tommorrow (starts in 6 min's). I finally blew down the partition between the old and the new structures WOW, what a difference that makes. It's nice to walk right in to the addon without having to go outside to another door, and the feeling of the cabin is entirely different with the doorway open. I tiled the 4 inch stepup today, looks pretty cool, pictures of the tile will follow soon. I'm pretty much working at all hours since Rox and the kids are in Santa Monica visiting Great Grandma, Athan and She went boogie boarding today and went to the zoo yesterday Mookie (Jamaica) kissed a chimp and it kissed her back through the glass, people were quite amazed at the interaction between the chimp and a 2 year old child. I'll post the pictures when they get back.

 I'll be wiring receps and lights and hooking up shut off valves for the sinks and water heater this week end, whew lots to do.  I just finished sealing the slate tonight while watching South Park , I worked during commercials. Yesterday I walked out to the yard hydrant as I have done every day since I've been tiling and looked down to see, bear tracks. The tracks are only 8 feet from the house and right in the yard. It must have walked through during the rain night before last. I think it was foraging apples that have fallen to the ground from the orchard. There was a huge 7 point buck in velvet in the yard today eating apples. Guess I should pick them up and feed them to the goats and sheep. Here's some pics of the tracks.
