With the outside of the house complete (aside from some touch up) we drove up to the same old thing. We are so over it that we didn't even take pictures of the outside.
We aren't over it but we really didn't take any pictures.

Either way it went from the front door to the back. I assume they applied to the rest of the kitchen area but at this time it was only as wide as the entryway.
The tile all looked exactly the same as we really only saw the top of the stacks.
You'll remember it's been months since the design center, the tile we picked is only a fading shadow of an image. We really didn't remember it but we knew it had some decent variation.

Panic.
"Oh crap, did we pick that?"
"No way, ours had variation."
"Yeah, I know. This doesn't."
"Our tile is cooler than that."
"Well that's nice. Too bad they are installing this lame stuff."
". . . We've got to stop them."
So off to the Design Center we flew. We really like the project manager Paul and we agonized about calling him on a Saturday.
He'd want to know if the wrong tile was shipped.
What if it's not the wrong tile?
What if it is?
Check the paperwork!
"Do you have the paperwork for the tile?"
"No it's at home"

"Hello Paul, It's Fred. Listen, man, I'm sorry to bother you on the weekend... What's that? You're in the line for Magic Mountain??"
That's right. He was on vacation and had taken his family to Disneyland.
We got to the design center, saw the tile we picked was definitely called Tundra Terrain. That was what was being installed in our home. This didn't really make us feel better because they must have changed Tundra Terrain in the last 11 months. Our tile didn't look like what was in the design center. We could just hear the conversation from the manufacturer:
"You know this Tundra Terrain is so cool it just isn't selling!"
"Yeah people are stupid."
"I know what we should do!"
"What?!?!"
"Let's make it dull and boring."
"YAY!!!"
We'll have to live with it.
Some other highlights this week:
Cool.
