Last week the plumber came and took care of everything except setting the tub in. I had the tile guy come to tell me how much we needed to order and he actually came the same time the plumber came. The tile guy and the plumber both agreed that it would look best if we had the top part of the tub box tiled before the tub was set in. So we picked a tile and ordered it. As soon as it arrives the tile guy will come back to put new tile in the master bath, the kids' bath and then the new tub box top. After that the plumber can come back and set the tub in.

This week has already been a little more interesting. Monday about 8:30am the mason arrived to find no brick, no mortar and no sand. About 9am the mortar and sand arrived. About 10am the brick arrived. Around 11am the mason came to tell me the wrong mortar was delivered and they were going home.

Today the mason arrived at 8:30am and brought a couple of bags of mortar so he could go ahead and get started. I left just before 10am to do some errands and the wrong mortar was still here and no signs of the correct mortar. When I returned a couple of hours later I found that the correct (we hope) mortar was delivered. Below are photos of today's progress.

Also today the Heating and Air people came and began working. It doesn't look like they are done so we should see them tomorrow. Also tomorrow the electrician will come back to do the wiring (he came yesterday just to see where we want all the outlets).
