"Small Bathroom, Big Project": Week 5

Day 22: Monday. Came home to all tile put up, Partially grouted. And one baseboard tile fixed. He wanted to match up grout lines with the floor, like the rest of tile baseboard. Nice of him.

Day 23: Tuesday. Came home to all tile grouted, and this...

Now to get back to deciding on towel rod finishes. Picked a different finish after putting in my new vanity cupboard handles. They match the kitchen handles.

Hello Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Day 23: Wednesday. Came home to this...

Good to know. So tempting to go in. So shiny. Want to touch.

Special ordered a glass vanity shelf in the Oil Rubbed Bronze. Now to decide where to put everything. Just dawned on me that I can change the location. I'll have to wait until the toilet is installed and door back up to decide.


One more little note. Couldn't find a kitschy light switch plate for square switch. So I asked if he could fix the broken plaster that's showing.

Day 24: Thursday. Holy cow! Toilet installed, Glass shower doors in, Shower Tower in, Original door hung back up. I love that door. Bathroom looks crazy good! It's real. Not just my drawing anymore.

Shower drain not working. You can see below the water right now is just sitting below my knuckles. My old galvanized pipes need some TLC. Plumber coming by tomorrow. My sink drain hasn't been draining either.

Day 25: Friday. Plumber came by today and tile guy. Grossness from years and years in those galvanized pipes. So nasty. Cast iron pee trap for shower to be cut out today and augured. Yes! Glass shelves going up. Multiple drill bits being used up. Almost there! 


Just have the plaster around light switch to dry and be sanded, do paint touch ups, and once the glass vanity shelf I ordered comes in, Paul will be back to put it and towel rods up. 


Come Tuesday morning (once I'm back home from Thanksgiving weekend), I can break my new bathroom in. Soon comes the bill. Eep!
