We have now built the bath vanity, all but the counter top. Now you can really see how small this bath is, there's 2 foot between the tub and vanity. But like I said how much room do you need there anyway. In all the construction 5 floor tiles were broken, those need to be replaced and a few lil touch up things, hang the cabinet doors and counter top with backdrop tiles then this room is done! Already have the blinds and curtains up, rugs out....I hurt my back working to much I guess I am on bed rest so I have the pointing finger job...lol...everyone else wants my job! We also started the master bath and bedroom....Wyatt is putting the putty in the master bedroom and you can see the bath in background. I love the mirror medicine cabinet. Its long and also serves as a full length mirror. Aaron is putting up sheet rock in the kitchen using a Sheetrock installer for lack of a education of the name of it....lol...Last pic is the kitchen walls against the master bedroom to the right. The buffet looks so small there all by itself.
















Ok I added a few things so I'm adding it to this blog...I installed the tile for the backdrop on the sink ....finished the stain on the tub area and painted and top coated all the cabinets...so now its grout the backdrop and the floor tiles that were broken install counter top and hang the medicine cabinet I made and were done! Yay! Well with this room...We getting there....just a wee bit slow

Wow its been a month since I posted.....got a few more things done now. I built the vanity base myself then Aaron, Wyatt, and Blake helped with the rest. Was heavy to raise to install but we did it. I also stained the logs in this room, ck out the painting and writing on the walls behind the tub....lol....needed some place to test paint. Like I said in the last blog the wood was old and from the cabinets from the house that I was raised in, so I worked around the doors more less. This room is so much smaller than I expected but I had to build the cabinets a certain size for the sink to fit, and now I had to raise the tub because of the p-trap being left out so steps to get into tub makes it even smaller. I built the shower base, then Randy came in off a Kentucky job for Mothers Day weekend and helped me install the shower, he had to leave before the plumbing was done so on Monday I started the plumbing....wow what a job that turned out to be! We had bought the wrong kind of glue sooooooooo every time I turned on the water I had a leak! Wasn't till the third leak I went to the Do It Center and they told me was the wrong glue...uggg...Thanks to Steve we got it all figured out now...Thanks again Steve. Now all the piping is in and shower works great! Molding is on, Randy framed the closet and Aaron and I finished it....looks good eh? All I have left to do is install the doors after I clear coat them and guest bath will be done! Yay! oops and make the counter top.....I'm doing a concrete overlay.....another new thing to me but my brother Craig is talking me thru this one over the phone...hehe...I'm gonna be a house builder yet! Get NO ideas I'm NOT going to do this again if I can help it! Last pic Wyatt and Blake are in the cabinet sticking their hands out...guess its bigger than I thought. Last pic Aaron is pretending to nail them in the cabinet....see they do have some fun while working.
