My cousin and I just finished laying the tile floors in the addition we've been working on. Still have to do the grout in the downstairs though.
Normally I don't work much, so I'm posting these pictures to show that it can occasionally happen.

Back into the laundry and another bath:
As you can see, we still have to do the tiling on the walls in the laundry and baths. (We gotta finish the Laundry soon... I'm running out of clean clothes... and the washer and dryer are under a tarp out on the deck for now.) Carpet is being installed monday. Then we put in the floorboards and reinstall the fixtures and we're done!
At least with the addition... still some stuff to do in the original portion of the house.
-----------------------------
I also finished off a little mod on my case today. Just using spare scrap from the house building and a few extra 120mm fans I had. So it's about a $10 mod. (Fans.)
Cut out 2 120mm holes in the bottom of my case since there's not enough room for a 120mm in the back of it. Was going to install 2 fans down there directly, then just modify the feet... but the fans mounted directly to the bottom of the case made too much sound due to vibration, even with rubber standoffs.
Instead I took some scraps from the decks we built and put together a redwood frame for 3 120mm fans. Stained it ebony black just so it doesn't stick out. (Redwood with ebony finish looks nifty though.)
Made the feet out of pvc from scraps from the plumbing, and on the ends I put some coasters I had found stashed away.
The wire mesh that we used in (very similar) frames we built for all the crawlspace vents keeps anything from falling into the fans. I took the connectors off the wires and threaded them through the grill. Tight fit, but didn't damage the wires.
Foam tubing is glued around the frame for the case to rest on without transfering vibrations from the fans to the case.
Still need to cut out the opening for the 3rd 120mm fan in the middle, and extend the right end a bit since adding the 3rd fan required moving the end one a bit too... will do that later since it requires taking out all the computer components. (If you notice the MB and video card are swapped out of the auction computer. Did that to facilitate some requested changes for the buyer. I put a HR-03 Plus on the video card as well. That dropped it's core temp from 67C with stock cooler, to 50C as pictured. Will eventually mount 2 80mm fans directly to the heatsink, which should really cool it down.)
Moved the HD up into a spare 5 1/4 drive bay. Just resting on the DVD drive with some foam strips as spacers for right now. Haven't decided what to do with it yet.
Fired it up, and it's pretty cool. I like the lighting this way much more than with the LED fans at front and back shining on the walls. Shining off the floor makes it much less distracting, but is still a good looking effect.
Most important though, can't hear it at all.
