Front Hall Overhaul – Part 8

Front Hall Overhaul – Part 8

I laid the last 10 tiles in the front hall today!  And sealed them.  I’m so happy they’re done!  After laying them I let the mortar dry for a few hours while I attended a friend’s birthday party.  Then I sealed them.  Now the entire front hall and closet is covered in beautiful, dark grey slate!

I’m still getting used to my new phone camera… The actual color of the slate is what you see in the first 2 pictures of this post.  The last 2 pictures make it look a bit reddish and washed out.  Meh.

Next step will be grouting everything!  Hooray!!!

Today Bonkers realized a new cat shelf was added to the living room and spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to access it:

Sorry, buddy, not gonna happen!  He’d have to start in the downstairs hall, climb up to those platforms, climb up to the alcove above the TV, then climb down the 2 steps on the wall to the left of the TV.  He was fairly furious he couldn’t get up there from the couch.

Here’s a shot of Darwin I just took – he only drinks water from the faucet in our downstairs bathroom.  He’s very spoiled:

We spent so much money on those watering stations for cats that plug in and have a constant waterfall of running water.  He has zero interest.  He only wants sink water.

    You cut it close with the tiles. That is what happened to us in the kitchen. I was a nervous wreck towards the end that we wouldn’t have enough. Poor Darwin! At least he has his catio.

      I actually ended up with 3 extra tiles. I bought 40, I used 30 [a lot of the tiles laid in the front hall/closet are smaller cuts], and I wasted 7 by bad cuts. But I was getting very worried towards the end!!!
