Time to Build

I'll go back and add photos to all my posts later I swear, I'm just to lazy right now to upload them. Today, Saturday the 18th of October was a great day. In the bathroom saga I did a deep clean to the gutted room, replaced the two hardwood floor pieces that will sit under the door threshold.

After that I tackled the window. This I thought was going to be tough, but with the right attitude, I know that sounds corny but I decided to have the right attitude today, it turned out being no problem at all. The right attitude by the way included these rules. 1) Work patiently 2) Work cleanly 3) Work Smartly 4) Do it correctly. So with the correct tools and taking my time to do things right it was pretty fun and surprised me how easy it was.

We cleaned the window mold out and slid the old window in for the time being until we can order our new window on Monday. Leslie and I then focused on the floor. I went to Home Depot and grabbed some Backerboard. We spent the next couple of hours laying that down and making the cuts for the toilet and tub plumbing. It looks pretty good if I might say so myself. Leslie screwed everything down with the driver while I made the cuts.

It doesn't sound like much work, but it took me all day, however we did it right and it was fun. Our next projects will be setting the tub, tiling the floor, fixing the roof in the corner where the old water heater vent traveled, setting the new window in and doing the drywall.

Hopefully these next tasks will be complete by the end of October/beginning of November. Peace out!
