Looks fantastic.
Are those the "smart tiles" I've been reading about?

Small glass and tile. This is back spash sections from Home Depot. The small tile pieces match the corian on the sides of the entry way.

It's the edge sold in the tile dept. of HD or Lowes. Comes in 8 ft lengthand many different finishes and I cut it at 90 degrees for the corners. I did not put it on the bottom edge of the tiles.

Finally finished my florescent light replacements.

The two lights on the living room slide are not on a wall switch so I needed a nice way to control them.

Settled on a touch dimmer controller purchased through Amazon and a 3/16" stainless carriage bolt for something to touch.

Took a while for the touch dimmers to arrive from China. Not surprising I guess.

Seem to work well. Infinitely variable dimmer control.

Well, not really quick, but about hours. Probably harder because we live in it... and it was 40 degrees outside.
Well today we worked on what we thought was going to be a simple project that turned into an all-day ordeal. we cut down the king size bed platform in our bedroom to accommodate a new queen size mattress. Welded aluminum frame in the platform was not something I had counted on. But we got r dun! 7 hours later (mattress tomorrow)Click image for larger version

John,

My wife would love to have a king and here you are cutting yours down to a queen. What is the motivation if I may ask.

Bob
