Wednesday bathroom progress
We didn’t do a whole lot on the bathroom today. We still need to exchange the broken faucet as well as get silicone, and my teeth removal kept me out of sorts all day.
chele did hang the wallpaper border after the kids were asleep, and put wallpaper on the medicine chest door. Every house I grew up in had mirrors on the medicine chests. Those must be an “optional upgrade”, in homebuilder-speak.
Once the border was up I hung the light fixture back up.
The room is coming together very well, for a project that started small and spiraled to a room re-do. Thankfully we didn’t rip up the floor or replace the shower. The next owner can do those.

In our case we were the “next owners”. I was about to rip up our bathroom floor when I realized it was probably chock-a-block with asbestos. So I left the old stuff there and put the new flooring over it. I just got the new shower caulked this weekend and Karin put up another coat of paint. Now we just have to refurbish the shower doors… I’ve strongly advocated putting up a cheap rod and curtain and calling it good, but I’ve been repeatedly vetoed. After the doors, I can re-install the loo. Then we need to buy a new sink and refurbish or replace the old vanity. Oh, I suppose we’ll need a new mirror too, since the old one was glued to the wall and refused to come down with any dignity or structural coherence.
Still, we’re making good progress for only having been at this a couple years now.
