Saturday and Sunday were slightly shortened days, with a wedding, church, and a first birthday party. Regardless, there was progress made! Quick update:
Day 8 (Saturday)
The big score: we have trim! Curtis purchased, measured, cut, and attached nearly all of the trim- baseboards and window/door casings.
It made the room look SO much closer to being done. It still needs to be caulked and painted, but just the primed wood is enough to give you the feel of the finished bathroom.
There a few spots- like to the right of the window- that need extra attention. In fact, as is typical for our 70 year old house, there was a lot that needed extra attention. Retrofitting… it is tedious.
Day 9 (Sunday)
Sunday afternoon, there was an unsuccessful attempt to install the toilet (again, retrofitting… something about the cast iron drainpipe needing to be cut off lower to install the new toilet). Instead, Curtis did more measuring, cutting, and painting, but this time it was for the linen closet!
He has all of the wood supports and shelves ready to go into the closet. I cannot wait to organize all of that SPACE! I love to organize. I know, I’m weird. I once thought about starting a business where I would organize people’s kitchens for them. I just think it’s fun!
Also exciting: he even managed to find time to install a new light overhead.
Isn’t it lovely? Not really anything special, but a whole heck of a lot better than the gold dangly thing that was there before!!
Happy Monday!
