Tile setter Brian has been busy the past couple of weeks getting ready to put tile in the Master Bath and Guest Bath. At right, he is figuring out how to position the heating mats (green mesh) under the tile so our tootsies won't get cold on those Winter mornings. In the background, workmen are figuring out the glass requirements for the shower.

Unfortunately, the Garage roof leaked. After some experimentation, we were confident of what the problem was. It appears that the membrane was not installed correctly. A trench had to be dug to expose the suspect area and new membrane installed to cover the leak. We then filled the trench with gravel and covered it with a plastic "valley" so water would not collect next to that area. Since Gary had originally suggested that the membrane needed to be extended over the suspect area, he told our general contractor that he and the subcontractor can argue about which of them will pay for the do-over.
