Hurry up and wait



So, we had to wait a week and a half for the rest of the shower. The walls are installed and ready for the plumber. Unfortunately, the toilet and sink can't go in until the tile floor is down. So, no sense calling in the plumber just yet. And the tiler can't come yet. We hurried to get the moulding put in this weekend in anticipation of the tile going in early this week. We can't install the sliding door until the floor is down. And the door must be in before the cabinet is installed. And the cabinet must go in before the washer and dryer. And on and on...

Room to Grow



The shower pan was installed. We had planned on a 48" wide shower, but it seems that after that 'secret space' wall was removed we gained 4 inches more.


'True turquoise' is the name of the color that Gary chose for the bathroom. It is fairly bright, but I think it will be balanced by the grey colors of the lower wall, shower, and tile floor.

The Case of the Vanishing Window


We removed the laundry room window. Being on the west side of the house, it took the full force of the winter storms. It was rotting on the bottom. The hole was framed in and covered with plywood. The hard to find cedar siding went up the next morning. Caulked and painted, you wouldn't know there was ever a window in that wall. Except for the fact that the rest of the wall needs cleaning.
