Driveway and finished tile

In Houston we have been having an abnormally dry year and have not had any rain in fact we are about 17 inches under the normal average rainfall. That being said when we went to pour our slab it rained and postponed it by a week, well it hadn't rained in months until we were ready to pour the driveway and as you guessed it rained the day we were supposed to have a driveway so we got delayed a week with that. I am happy to say that we now have a driveway, sidewalk to front entry, air conditioning pad, and pad for the back doors. The tile guy has finally finished after having camped out in our house forever, who knows what he did all day as it seemed like little progress was made everyday. In the end he did a wonderful job except for the fact that he did not put in a place for the shampoo and soap as per plan, so know they are in there with a section torn out and working on putting it in. Inside they are working on electrical and low voltage trim out. We should have power to the house soon as well as light fixtures. That is if lighting inc can ever get going. (I recommend no one ever use lighting inc as they were HORRIBLE to work with and very slow!!!!!). It is crunch time because we want to be in the house in about 3 weeks, so they are trying hard. Outside the house is almost done they have framed out the mailbox and will be ready to build. They will also be starting the outdoor kitchen soon. They also should be putting in the air conditioning units outside and doing the final grating around the house.


This is the guest shower tiled.
