Construction Daily

Debbie Hartwick stopped by today, along with my mom to offer some input on paint colors in the gift shop. I had originally thought we'd go with a different wall color and floor in there to set it apart from the rest of the tasting room. But after talking with Debbie we decided to go with the same beige color we're using in the main tasting area, but go with a different floor (red oak instead of bloodwood.) We also spent some time looking at paint colors for the bathrooms, and decided on Behr Winter Wheat to complement the floor tiles.

Debbie also put some thought into our railing system, and came up with the idea for using a glass railing above the gift shop to preserve the view of the star window and ceiling from the gift shop. Sounds awesome - now we have to get some quotes...

I had started tiling the men's room when everyone showed up, so mom and Debbie installed a few pieces of tile. Shannon also pitched in for some tiling as well, while Memom watched the boys at the rental. We got the bathroom finished up, and everyone took off while I started laying out the kitchen tile project. This would be much more complicated, as the tiles are angled 45 degrees from each wall, thus it was critical to get an accurate center line created to ensure a consistent pattern. Had a pretty tough time getting started within the curve of the tasting bar due to all the weird angles. Finally got out of the curve and quit for the day - will get back at it tomorrow.

Work continued on the drywall in the basement this week.

Today's tasks:
- Completed the men's room ceramic tile
- Began the kitchen ceramic tile

Daily hours (S&S combined) = 16
Total hours = 212
