Bathroom Tile Update
The tile is ordered! It’s the custom blend classic tiles from Hakatai (mentioned in an earlier post), and will be delivered in mid-August. Today’s design plan includes keeping the tub. We have gone back and forth on whether the tub stays or goes, but now...New House Numbers on Order!

Life is kooky, but always a fun adventure!
PLAN B… THE TRAILER
