Fit for a king

bathroom just needs the throne

Booyah

Only Stuart Scott knows how to express it - the feeling of crossing a finish line. and that's what i've almost got with this never-ending bathroom.

The weekend began with a re-visit from Matt Melody down from his ivory tower in Brooklyn. and with this a reminder that we haven't really finished anything that he saw us starting - 14 months ago. So, armed with renewed self criticism and a toolbox full of hope (and some tools) we forged ahead with the final trimming on the new bathroom. But i forgot my camera so please accept this web-based panta-mime instead:

step 1: sanding the drywall

step 2: lightly sanding the floors

step 3: staining the floors

step 4: ruining the stain







Step 5 grinding out the wrong stain

steps 6-9: sanding, sanding, sanding

Step 10: painting





and finally installing the finished plumbing.

So booyah Stuart Scott I've got me a bathroom.

Let there be [sky] light

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Velux corporation we now have 3 skylights sitting in the living room. i ordered these in august to be installed before the weather turned. Their clairvoyance must have told them to hold off on the delivery for 7 months to give us time to really get ready. I shouldn't complain - it's not like i am prepared to put more holes in the roof.

one for the shower, and two for over the stairs.
