Bathroom Update

One of this winter's projects is to remodel our upstairs bathroom. The tongue and groove knotty pine ceiling is almost up. That will be completed this weekend after we stain and varnish it.

The only outside labor we hire out is plumbing. We leave that task to the experts so that the job is done right.

Our trusty plumber, Craig, the owner of ACE Plumbing was out today and fixed us up with new shower/tub and sink hardware.


Of course, the access panel for the tub was not large enough, so I got out my trusty keyhole saw and started hacking away.


I will have to make an access panel so the big hole in the wall is covered.

Craig also installed shut off valves under the sink and a new faucet.


No runs, leaks or errors....Great job Craig!

Here We Go Again!

Winter time is project time out here at Coyote Ridge. We are keeping to tradition and have at least one major project that has made it from the drawing board to semi-reality.
Last winter we completely re-did the main floor bath. Today we started the demo work on the second floor bath.
Here are a few pictures of the process.



We will be installing ceramic tile above the shower.

The ceiling will be tongue and groove cedar.

We will be installing all new tub and sink water fixtures as well as counter tops. A new mirror and light fixtures should finish off the project....hopefully by Christmas. I will update you along the way, as we make progress.
Tune in again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
