Drunk Driver Update, Up-Close Tile, and Kitchen BeadBoard

Well, we are still patiently waiting to straighten everything out with the truck situation. After receiving the police report, Adam followed up with the other driver's insurance company to get the ball rolling on the claim. After going through numerous questions and gathering of information, the insurance adjuster advised Adam to get the process started with our insurance company when it came to taking care of our vehicle because "this guy may not have insurance". Stunned by the woman's statement, Adam asked what she was basing this assumption off of, where she proceeded to tell him that the company sent him a cancellation letter for non-payment on Oct. 24. So the jerk was drinking and driving, with no insurance. Fantastic..... Thankfully we do have under insured/uninsured motorist coverage on our policy, we just pray it doesn't raise our rates. So we are still patiently waiting....

As far as the house, it is really starting to look like a home. We mentioned that the tile was finished in the last blog, so I thought I would include some close up shots and rooms shots of the finished tile with grout and sealing.

Here is the bathroom tile, we used a dark grey grout, which I think tied it altogether really well:

The hallway turned out really well as well. We went with a light colored grout, similar to the color of the tile. We had originally planned on a dark grout, but decided against that. Unfortunately, the old bag of grout was in the truck when the wreck happened and exploded on impact, so we did not get to return it to Lowes. Either way, we are much happier that we went with the lighter grout.

We plan to lay a piece of quarter-round down along the side of the hallway baseboard to clean up and finish the look of the tile.

Last night Adam and Darron nailed up the bead board in the kitchen. Some pieces have one coat of paint, while others are still unpainted. They all will be painted with the white glossy enamel paint that we have used in all of our trim work. Although it is far from the finished product, the bead board has really begun to tie the kitchen together to look like a real kitchen, and not just the room with the stove in it. Check it out:
