I was able to get our Great Wolf Lodge pictures posted online too so Amanda can send out to family. Amanda and I finished putting the full pieces of tile in last night, so all that remains now is the cut pieces and the grout. We look to have the washer and dryer back in by Thursday next week when my mom comes down. Waiting the 2 days in between for drying time is what is taking so long, but I don't want to rush it, t...
