Tile installation (Monday afternoon)
Our tile setter came by this afternoon and finished installing the floor tile in the laundry room and the bathroom. The kitchen counter is done, too. He did some prep work on the floor between the front of the house … Continue reading

Modifications > >We reserve the right at any time or times to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, >all … Continue reading
