The bathroom floor at our new house was originally carpeted. Lisa and I decided that we didn't like the carpet so we searched the flooring stores and decided on the tile you see here (made by Florida Tile). This was my first ever large tiling job on a floor and overall I'm very happy with the results |
So far this is the only major project I've done to our new house. Lisa and I have talked of carpeting the floor in the dining area and I'd put tile down on the kitchen floor. Currently both those areas have vinyl flooring. The vinyl that is on the floor is fragile and has several cuts and dents. |
Originally our first house had a very steep set of stairs going to the loft. Lisa and I took a trip to Miami, Florida to visit friends and while there we visited a showroom for spiral staircases in Sarasota (1995). |
This shows the beginning of the installation of the spiral stairs we picked out. This is the south west corner of the living room. The original steep stairs are on the northwest corner of the room. |

The completed stairs. Note the door to the right. I installed that during a later remodel of the guest bedroom. Originally the entrance to that bedroom was through the master bedroom (don't know who ever though of that). |
The guest bedroom partway through the remodel. I had already torn out all the previous drywall, insulated and framed the vaulted ceiling.

The guest bedroom further along. I had yet to finish the bi-fold door for the closet and trim and paint the window. This bedroom originally had no closet. |
The framing of the vaulted ceiling of the master bedroom. I just couldn't get enough of the difficult drywalling apparently! The closet barely visible on the right was installed during a previous project when I had heating ducts run to the loft area.
