   *Mr Rimoldi, It is not necessary to start another discussion to post pictures, when you already have one going on the same subject. Next time, please post pictures of the same subject in the original discussion.

   *Michael: Really awesome work! I would like to see some more. I'm a big fan of painted trim and wall color. I would like to see some pics of how you trimmed the windows and doors. My wife wants to know what other colors you used.Rich

   *Very nice, Mike! I think I'm starting to get an idea of what those "budget overruns" that you talked about in an earlier thread were...

   *Rich and Cami, Thanks for the support. I'll get some pics of the window trim up as soon as I can. And yes, the budget overrunns have now been just become our new budget. Actually, I will be able to finish the house within my expected dollar figure. The extras we added along the way are what takes us "over the top". Sure, thats a elusive way of saying we exceeded our cost estimate but I feel better that way.Mike

   *Sounds like governmental logic...But I'm going to need some sort of rational as we inevitably overshoot our budget, so yours will work as well as any. ;0)

    *Michael,Love the window casings, the rope mold looks really nice on the head caps, great detail. Also like the way the chair rail terminates.

    *Rich,Thanks for the compliments!Believe it or not, its done with about five different profiles of moulding but all are common stock ones so its just a matter of cut and nail.Mike

    *Mike,Everything is beautiful. Not only do you do great work but you also have excellent taste. My wife is very impressed (she's the "designer" in the family).

    *How is the water line hooked up and where do you get the tub and all that beuitful things? Ralph

    *Ralph, Water supplies are up from the floor to the mixing temp. valve on the deck of the tub. Whole unit is made in England and sold under the Porcher line. Mixing valve I bought when I lived in Germany.Bought the tub and shower combo from faucet.com. Great service!Mike

    *Mike,How did you finally end up making the connection from the CPVC stubs to the risers and hide the connections? Don't remember seeing the answer in the thread with your request for ideas.

    *Ralph,Ah ha...Yes, I do remember. Take a look at the attached pic. I took a 2" cast iron union, painted it "chrome" and used it to cover the CPVCchrome supply connection. I then got longer stainless screws (not easy to find 1/4" x 4" long stainless wood screws I might add) and secured the floor plate thru the union. Its really snug to the floor, covers the connection, yet I can access the connection should any leakproblems, etc ever occur. And it actually looks Vistorian if you know what I mean.Not a million dollar camo job but it sure beats tearing up my new floor tile!Mike
