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!

Bath Update- I Finally Took One!

I find bathing important, so I try to do that once a week if necessary.

All joking aside, if you follow this exciting blog full of real life tales, you know that we are remodeling three of our bathrooms. The one getting the most attention is the one on the main floor.

Here is a picture that was taken as we started tearing it up.


Since then, we have made some progress.....






If we can find the time, two full days should finish it. But then again, why rush? The toilet and sinks work just fine!

Tune in again real soon for another edition of "Now What Are They Doing?"
