We finished installing and grouting the slate last weekend and this Sunday I started building the surround. Here is a before and in progress shot for you to enjoy. If you want to see the work in progress go to the Photo Gallery and check out “Work on the new house > Living Room”
I’m loving the Droid, this is the first time I have left the Blackberry home and trusted a push device since the iPhone debacle. One of my favorite features is the built in GPS. I put the address in my meeting notifications, when my reminders pop up I simply press the address, it opens Google maps, I press navigate and I’m getting turn by turn directions with spoken street names and real-time traffic info within seconds.
Here is a photo of the Droid and I out for a stroll
The amazon. com application is pretty nuts too. I can check pricing on items just by taking a photo of the box or scanning the bar code. The app reports back the pricing on amazon and saves the item on my amazon.com page. I could also buy it from the phone if I want. I’m going to give her a few more days them probably give up the blackberry, yes I said “Give up the Blackberry”
It’s nice to get back in the swing of a good project and have Ayoe free to help out. So far we have enlarged the hearth to make room for the mantle pillars and set all the tiles in place with thin-set mortar. Today I hope finish cutting the tiles into little pieces and arrange them to cover up the bricks.
