Bathroom Makeover … Part 2

IMG_6486 - edited

Here’s our fearless leader in his natural element: hard at work! Well, the project ended up growing, there have been unexpected surprises, extra trips to Menards and Lowe’s, a small fire underneath our house at about 1:00 am (no damage, except a humongous blister on two of Mick’s fingers), and some blood, sweat and tears.  OK, I made that last part up: no blood, no tears – not even when he burnt his hands. Plenty of sweat, though. ;-)

The skylight is out and the opening closed up and re-roofed – and just in time: it ended up raining that night! Glenn came on Saturday and put up drywall (a huge help!) while Mick worked on the skylight. He mudded last night and now it feels like we’re at about the halfway point. Sanding (possibly more mudding), painting the cabinets, painting the walls and then the flooring.

And after a week of it being out of commission, we still walk into that bathroom thinking we can wash our hands. HA!

    1. We're getting there. He's going to tile the bathroom floor, so that will take a few days, including waiting time for things to set up. Glad that bathroom is small! :-)
