The remodel continues

Mimi and Chuck left ten days ago after a whirlwind two and a half weeks of near constant work on the bathroom and laundry. The plumbing and wiring and sheet rock were nearly complete, the tile floor was in and grouted, the shower more than half-way tiled and the new toilet was installed! We had many great meals together amidst all the work and miss them since they are gone!

It took me all last week to recoup from the prolonged fast pace. Dennis got the shower light installed and a few other things. We got one cupboard changed out in the kitchen. My old washer did prove undependable so we moved the new/used washer into its place Friday morning. We both spent the week getting stuff cleaned up and organized around home,  in getting caught up at work and in resuming our routine of church and bluegrass. Friday night, Dennis got another row of tiles laid in the shower while I drove around to Lowe's and Home Depot to find a new blade for the tile saw.

Today, Dennis had planned to finish up tiling the shower but then realized the sheetrock work needed to be completed first. We cleaned up the new tile floor, then taped a heavy plastic cloth all around the edges to protect the floor from debris. He took out the old window and installed the new one while I checked out getting a mirror framed with alder and shelving options. No pictures yet!
