Free shoveling

Arizona has reached an all new level of strangeness! People from Phoenix are stealing snow from Flagstaff and driving it down the hill for Phoenix kids to play in. Apparently they tried to collect snow from a hillside on Snowbowl road, but were chased away by the authorities because they were "stealing snow". So the guys ended up going around the neighborhood asking if they could shovel snow off of people's driveways. They shoveled over half of our driveway and John's next door...so we had free shoveling services, no complaints!

We drove down to Phoenix to pick up our tile and deliver it to Flagstaff on Saturday (we didn't know that we could have hauled snow down the hill with us to make some money!). Steve was nice enough to let us borrow the company's large flatbed diesel truck for the trip since 5000 lbs would have been a bit much for the Toyota to carry. Picked everything up and made it back up to Flagstaff all in nice weather.

 The large tiles are the porcelain for the bathroom and laundry room floors. The grey stone and green glass accent tiles are for the jack and jill bathroom and shower. 

 These are the accent tiles that we will use in the master bathroom to go with the Kashmir White Granite shower wall and counter top. We will replace just a few of the glass tiles in the left pattern with a red accent tile to give a little more pop!

Good old plain black slate like my parents have in their house. We will use this in the entrance ways and the powder room. The boxes look quite old...apparently nobody buys black slate! The guys said that the last person who bought some was doing an art project making chalk boards.

Marvin and his crew put the redwood on the front stairs and deck. The wood is very pretty!  They have to finish the railings and balusters and stain the redwood still.

The company that pour the gypcrete floors came back to level and seal the concrete. After a day of sanding and sealing, the floors look much better!  Installing the wood floor should be much easier.
