Paint and Tiles Finished!

So the doors and one last window arrived, the tiles are now all installed, and the painting is finished! And we bought a door mat. I realize this is a bit pre-emptive, but we went to do some supermarket tourism (there's a new one in town-- not as nice as the one we currently frequent though) and found a door mat that we liked. The fact that we left a supermarket with *only* a doormat is proof that it's not all that great. Granted, we had just come from our preferred supermarket where we parked to pay bills at the mall, and managed to spend R100 despite the fact that we'd gone in only needing mustard and to spend R20 to not have to pay for parking...

Anyhow, paint and tiles and doors! And the tiles that we had originally purchased for the bathroom arrived as well, though they had been replaced earlier this week due to their extremely slow progress from Sao Paulo. Two months!

I need to take photos of the laundry area since that is now also completed, but for now photos of the bathroom and the last window will need to suffice.

The last window to arrive
It was varnished today with the doors that arrived and they are currently drying inside due to some afternoon rain showers.

And the last of the bathroom tiles. I'll post a full pictures of the back bathroom wall tomorrow with the picture of the laundry area. At this point the ever important grout had yet to be applied. But at least this is a big improvement from the photo with the paper still covering the tiles.
