GRRRRR!!!

My modem has been down since the beginning of the week so I'm just now getting back online.  Let me not fail to mention that the modem that died was the NEW modem that AT&T had sent me less than a week earlier.  Sweet Peter, whom I am sure lives in Bangledesh, was on the phone with me for over two hours to decide my modem was bad.  DUH!

On a lighter note, the bathroom is progressing well.  I finished the floor and it looks great.  My dad came to visit earlier in the week and we installed two new faucets and put up the horizontal pieces for the board and batten.  I have a few pictures that I will post later.  I'm hoping to get it finished off before mid-December.  It's amazing how slow a project progresses when there is only one person working.

More to come soon...

It's Crunch Time

I'm in a bit of a time bind.  My dad is coming to visit on Monday (to help me with some plumbing) and I really need to finish the floor.  The majority of the tile is down but now I need to work around the edges to fill in a single tile here and there.  I will also need to cut a few tiles to fill in other gaps.  I did a good bit of the work this morning (after having worked last night) but now I'm tired and I really need to get some sleep.

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY... need to get this done tonight... like FRIDAY night.  The adhesive can dry while I'm watching the Alabama vs. LSU game on Saturday and then I will tackle grout Sunday morning.

MUST PRESS ON!

So here is a list of the pending projects (more for my own use than anything else; these are in no particular order):
FINISH FLOOR
install faucets and new hardware in the shower
buy and install NEW toilet
install board and batten; patch holes and paint
Figure out what I want to do with the shower curtain (I'm leaning toward floor to ceiling but I have yet to find a fabric ... or curtain.. that I love)
New hardware for the cabinet doors
Find rugs

Oh.., and Anthony still needs to come and actually REPAIR the tub... UGH!

I'm sure there is more but I can't think of it.
