San Salvador: ...fingers to the bone, almost !

I have spent the better part of the last two weeks tiling. When I quit Friday night, I was in severe pain. It seems the combination of the cement and something they call 'cal' (could be lye or a calcium addative) in the cement along with all the time in the cold water, clicking on the grinder and fitting tile in place had, uh destroyed my finger tips. They were raw and a little bloody. Sometimes I just have no idea what I'm doing.
The tile came out pretty good though. I still have to find something for the outside corners on the shower wall. I am searching for some extruded aluminum channel used for this exact thing. So far no luck.
The kitchen top was installed yesterday and it looks nice. It's black granite and it goes well with the cabinets. The install was a little hectic. Lots of dust, lots of moving the pieces, (heavy, fragile) but in the end it came out well.
My friend Mono is back helping a few hours a week again. Yesterday he got one of the front doors finished and stained. It looks great.
Yeah, it all looks great but will it ever end?
Stay tuned.
Thanks for reading.
