Bathroom Update

Since I posted those beautiful pictures of our ripped-open bathroom, things have started to improve somewhat.

Sunday we all worked on the project but it seemed like not that much got accomplished. Andrew and I spent hours at Home Depot again buying more supplies. The new moisture vent was wired in and installed (that took a long time) and Andrew got the North wall insulated and covered in plastic. I spent most of my time playing gopher and cleaning up debris. I also helped Dad with figuring out the wiring for the reconfigured light switch/moisture vent switch/ground-fault outlet. What a confusing mess of wires that was! After much conferring and debating, and tripping the ground-fault repeatedly, we got it all connected right. Yay!

Mom and Dad stuck around for an extra day and Dad worked very hard for us all day Monday (THANKS DAD!!). He got the new bathtub/shower hardware plumbed in, boxed in spaces for our two built-in medicine cabinets, fixed the heat duct vent so that it's now a normal size, and started hanging tile backer board on the North (exterior) wall.

Since then, not a whole lot has been done. Andrew and I are too busy with our full-time jobs to work on remodeling much during the week. But Andrew has cut, fitted, and hung a couple more pieces of backer board around the shower. We hope to get a lot more accomplished this weekend. Keep checking this page for updates! And please leave a comment... It's fun to think that someone is actually reading this. :-)
