I spent most of the day saturday traveling to and from every wood specialty store in san diego. I managed to bump into todd and catherine at influx who contacted a friend on how to achieve this look. thanks for helpful info!
but the ventures turned up empty. hopefully, this woca wood lye will do the trick!
Jason worked out the floor.. Snow white grout tomorrow! It’s Fresh Lime from Dal Tile
Jason and Chris from SCS are setting the tile.. Lookin good! They’ll be finished by Monday.
It was difficult to sleep last night knowing the pocket door was to be installed first thing in the morning. The pocket door is 1 of 5 new windows that’ll be installed, but it’s probably the most difficult and trick due how ‘square’ and tight everything needs to be. Since the house was built in 1951, lots of wackiness due to age, settling and the way they built back in the day. Nonetheless, Mario shaved back a few 2x’s to make it perfect…. and perfect it is.
I reached out to Kasper from Norm last night to understand how they achieved the unfinished / grey look for the flooring. He graciously gave us the info. I suppose you sand the floors and wash down with lye and white pigmented soap. I love how pure and simple this looks! Thanks Kasper!
I pulled up to the house this morning at 630 to see the western truck parked across the street. It’ll take 4 people to carry one door that weighs close to 600 lbs. They’ll install the pocket door on Wednesday! Exciting milestone ahead.
