Foyer Floor Backerboard Complete

With the girls finished with exams and out for the fall semester, we headed back to Zelda in two (2) vehicles on Thursday evening. Friday, the girls did some touch-up painting in the rooms and Brent continued with putting down the backerboard in the foyer and prepared some areas of the floor for the wood flooring to be installed. In the dining room, there was an area near the wall where he had to install some wood to match the same height of the subfloor. Brent also planned on meeting the person to install the wood floor and trim out the downstairs, but he never showed at the house.

On Saturday, we finished installing all the backerboard in the foyer, so now we may begin the installation of the black marble. We also got all the remaining crown molding at Lowes (about 300 lf) and the girls applied two (2) finish coats to all the molding. Brent was able to contact our potential trim contractor and he agreed to meet us on Tuesday. Lynn continued with the stairs and we also hooked up the gas to the dining room fireplace. Around 6 pm we finished work and headed over to Raleigh, NC to Renee and Greg's house.
