Bathroom

So...we've been working on our bathroom. More specifically, I've done some demolition and a construction guy has been doing some...construction work.

We started with a bathtub and a shower stall

There was also a wall between the single sink vanity and the shower stall (on the left)

I ripped out the shower stall and the wall

We kept the bathroom with a sink for quite a while so we could still use it

On Valentine's Day Mitzi and I then took out the vanity

Construction finally started, with drywall going up first including 2 ledges that would flank the new vanity

He put some new pipes in for the new sinks (and in the process made our main water turn-off switch to the whole house leak in our basement...)

He put in some new floor tiles...

and finally the vanity cover and sinks

We still have to prime and paint the room (we got a light gray for the walls). It's super bright in there with all the vanity lights on. After we paint, the construction guy will come back to grout the shower tiles, put in the baseboards and install the actual shower in the tub. We are so close! Unfortunately I have our residency inservice test this week, so can't work on painting until Saturday.

Lent has started; we're trying to get the girls to do something. Mary Ann (for now) has agreed to only have sweets on Sunday; Rose didn't want to give up anything. We watch the Olympics occasionally, and try to get most of the KU games watched too.
