House Update (a bit old)

Call me geeky, but after I nearly stepped on this, I made Den take a photo of it as I rushed back out the door to take our beloved nanny home. I still remember the snail we saw last fall in FLA and that I didn't get a photo of that, but this guy was huge. I'd never seen one so large.
When we redid our kitchen, they talked about zippered doors they would put up. They never did. For this addition, they kept talking about zippered doors and never put them up. But FINALLY, when they were going to sand the drywall, they put up the zippered door. It's pretty darn cool--except that you have to watch as you step through, or you'll end up on your face--just ask Den.
When we got home from the beach, we found the floor covered with a dura-board type of thing. I didn't realize it would be in place such a short time, so I grabbed the camera to follow it out the door. We have been so pleased and impressed with these contractors, they're just great.
Here's the master bath counter. To make a really long story short, it's a reminent piece of marble. I really wanted something else--something green. Turns out the green products we liked did not go with the marble we have selected for the rest of the bath. I think that was part of our mistake---going with the faux marble in the rest of the bath because then not much else was looking good to us. After working so hard to make this a 'green' remodel, this is the decision that leaves me with the greatest angst. I even made a last ditch ask for Ceasarstone, but was talked out of it. Oh well. I did get my radiant floor heat and heated towel bar, so won't complain further about anything else in the bath. It is going to be GREAT.
