Disaster Strikes!!!

Oh no, now what???  So I get a call from our cabinet guy two days ago, normally he is a pretty upbeat talkative guy, he has a million stories and ideas.  He is great to talk to but you want to make sure you have some time set aside when you are going to be talking to him.  :)  So when he first called I was right in the middle of dealing with some other stuff so I let the call go to voicemail and then called him back.  As soon as I heard his voice I knew something was wrong, he was not sounding like his normal self.  He proceeds to tell me that he has had an accident in his shop and that he broke his back... what do you say to something like that??  Of course I asked how he was doing etc. but it just seems so inadequate.  As it turns out he didn't exactly break his back (see my earlier comments about him being talkative and having stories) but he did break four ribs in his back and ripped up all of his muscles etc. in his back and shoulder so he is way out of commission.  I guess he was trying to get a sheet of material out and he had ten other sheets of plywood fall on him and pin him against a saw horse.  He was there alone and apparently struggled for over half a day to get himself free and manage to crawl to a phone to call an ambulance.  Not good at all.  So he is busy making arrangements to have all of our stuff taken care of but of course the schedule is going to sleep big time (probably by a couple of weeks :( ).  We are worried about how the quality is going to turn out now as well...  Time will tell.  I am planning on heading out there later today or tomorrow so I will take some pictures while I am out there.

On to some good news, the tile guy has been working tirelessly to get tile installed.  He is very particular and loves what he does so it is great to work with him (even if he does have a bit of a short fuse sometimes lol).  When he opened the tiles he freaked because they looked like two different colors so he ran off to the supplier to give him what for, turns out that the tiles were just wet.  :)  After that he was installing the tiles in the front entrance and somebody walked on the tiles, he was not happy about that he came flying outside accusing everybody of walking on the tiles.  Luckily is was still very wet and he had no problem fixing it up, but it was funny to see.  Here is a time lapse of the tiling of the entrance, the tile guy (Dave) is the guy in the first picture.

Step one, get all of the concrete board and kerdy board down and set.

Start the installation of the tiles.

The finished product.  

Dave stayed and worked late with me last night so we also got a bunch done in the bathroom and laundry room.

This is the first half of the Laundry room tiled.

This is the bathroom with the concrete board and in floor heating in.

Ok, I think that is about it for now.  :)  Things are coming along the tile guy and pool guys should be here shortly, the drywaller (John) is already working away on getting the ceilings and walls in the family room and kitchen completed, he says he will have all of that done by tomorrow, hurray!  From there he has to finish the bathroom, laundry room and Elliots bedroom.

I see the pool guys driving up so I am out of here, catch you all later.
