Trim, tile and weather

The long job of trimming out is nearly complete. This photo shows the fantastic job Dave and the crew have done. You can't really tell the detail in this photo (as it was dark and I had to artificially lighten it) but the trim for the arched window lines up nearly perfectly with the vertical part, and without those corner blocks that I detest.

It is actually not possible to get a piece of curved trim to line up with straight trim, since the process of making the curved trim means it has a slightly different profile. To my eye, this is as perfect as you can get. The trim on the two adjoining windows in the corner is also very nice.

Charles found the source of the water leak we had about 2 weeks ago (see Feb 5th note in the Feb 13th blog entry). The leak was due to faulty installation of the chimney cap by the fireplace people. Note how they did not run the bead of caulking completely around the chimney storm cap.

That's the 3rd error the fireplace installers made.

Bad weather: Because freezing rain is forecast for Thursday night, the flooring guys will not be back until Monday, when they will grout the tile they have already laid, and lay the tile in the foyer. We have to select the grout colour this weekend, and decide on the tile layout in the foyer.
