We have bathroom!
That was quite the weekend. Worked almost straight through from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening with only a little down time on Saturday when stuff had to dry before proceeding.
There were a few moments of drama. The plumbing did not want to co-operate which required a two emergency trips to Home Depot for solutions. The new mirror I had my eye on in a local store turned out not to be for sale but a sample for custom orders and they refused to sell me the sample, so I had to go last-minute mirror shopping. And, saddest of all, Andrew chipped the beautiful new sink while installing it - perhaps a glass sink was not the most practical idea ever. At the moment the sink is in anyway chip and all, we had to order that sink in and it took a while, so I have to decide if I want to order the same one again or go with something more practical.
We still have to grout the tiles and adjust the doors on the cabinets so they will close a little smoother, and one drawer needs to be re-sized to better accommodate the plumbing.
But it is mostly done and should be all done by tonight and it looks amazing, I can't believe Andrew built something (and I helped) that looks like it could be in a magazine.
I did a lot of general frantic tidying while Andrew did the more technical parts of the construction, and we have paid the cleaning fairies for some extra time today, so the house should be looking fantastic for the arrival of K&F tomorrow. I am excited! Family visiting! Bar call getting closer!
