WC Remodel - 7

More success! This has to be the slowest remodel project in the history of the world - at least in this house! We are getting so close, though, and it feels good. If you remember from installment 6, I had a few things to check of the list and I got 3 of them done this weekend, plus several other things.

The shower panel came in so I was able to get the entire shower installed!


I still need to do some trim work along the top edge and sides. The instructions were not clear on measuring how to place the panels, so I was off pretty bad. This goes all the way back to the texture stage because I had to tape off the wall so as not to have texture behind the shower panel so the glue would stick good. It didn't come out quite right, but its nothing some trim won't hide!


I guess you are supposed to pull that blue stuff off the chrome at some point. We'll wait until its good and finished!

This picture doesn't really show it, but the grout is finished and I also got the light covers put on. Now the plumbers need to come do the toilet and some trim work will be all that's left.

All that was done on Sunday and Monday evening because I spent Saturday doing other projects - like getting Avery's new bunkbed put up! Thanks to Uncle Vernon's donation of his childhood bed, she is one happy little girl! She has slept on the top AND bottom - quite possibly in the same night, but I'm not sure about that.


We also got our Christmas tree and some lights put up as well - that was really fun with Avery this year. She was so excited to get the ornaments hung it was hard to keep things under control! She's been quite disappointed that we didn't make a paper star for the top. After all, Caillou (her best cartoon friend) made one for his tree this year. She even suggested that since we obviously didn't know how to do it, we should travel to his house for lessons. We told her we were pretty sure Caillou lives in Canada and she thought that sounded like a fun weekend trip!

One other thing - on the way to buy the Christmas tree, Avery was looking over Jill's new cell phone and reviewing which number called who on speed dial. She said, "Mom - number 1 calls you voicemail." Voicemail?? How does she even know what voicemail is? So we asked her how she knew that and she gave us the most ridiculous look while replying, "Well, it does have an envelope on the button, you know!" Oh my. Reckon what our phone bill will be when she is 13?!!?!
