Tiling the bathroom

OK, we have the insulation (on the top two floors) done. Now we need to finish the tile installation in the main floor bathroom so we can move on to the kitchen.
On Sunday, I had installed a cleat on the wall, exactly 1 tile height above the bathtub. The idea is that you install the cleat perfectly level and then simply lay your first row of tile on the cleat. After you have filled in the rest of the field, you come back and install the bottom row last. I had started the row atop the cleat before realizing that I was going to need 1/8" spacers. I thought I could do it by eye, but it was more difficult than I thought.
Carol picked up the spacers on Monday and we left work early so I  could take advantage of the light. As you can tell by the pictures, I managed to get quite a lot done in the 2 hours before darkness put an end to it. We chose ceramic tiles and a marble mosaic for the accent, in colours that best matched our vanity sink top. Now that it's on the wall, we're both very pleased with how it looks. There is probably 5 hours of tilesetting left before we get to grouting the whole thing to make the shower usable. That will cut down on the trips to the local pool to use the showers there!
We have been exposed to some winter weather lately, with a few cm's of snow on the ground at the house. The PV modules are completely white with snow and frost so I will have to go up and sweep them off if they don't get lose their wintery patina over the next few days. Up 'til now, we have been doing pretty well with power generation and haven't really needed to supplement the solar power with our diesel generator.

With the snow, I have another couple of jobs to add to the pile - secure tarps to protect the spare dimensional lumber and the skids of Certainteed siding, and insulate and protect to the top of our water well to keep it from freezing. We don't want to be hauling water during the cold winter months!
I had to include a pic of the two dogs. Because we have all our food in boxes on the floor, Joey had taken to eating anything she could get at while we were at the office and she was home alone. We have been putting her in Ben's crate during the day while we struggle to get the kitchen cupboards installed. She goes in quite happily as we give her a dog cookie, so Ben has taken to joining her in the mornings on the off-chance that he might get a cookie too!
