Starting on the Outside...

As part of the outside refacing, and to help cover up some of the new ceiling joists we installed after demoing the pergola we opted to inclose the eves the same as a typical home. I'm really happy with the way they turned out. I also installed some wiring in the eves for future down lighting.

2/3's of the way done.....On the floors....

Ok, so the floors are 2/3's of the way done. We have all of the tile laid and grouted in the living and dining areas. Kari's loving it because we have the DVR hooked back up. :)

In the pictures, you'll notice some pink stuff on the concrete, my tile layer patched the cracks in the foundation with fiberglass. This helps prevent the cracks from shifting and causing the stone tiles to break. He also used a concrete grinder to grind all of the high spots and added self leveling cement to fill in the low spots. I learned more about tile than I ever wanted to know.
