All we lack is finishing

With the proverbial cat being away this week there’s been more progress with all things plumbing and bathroom. The shower was built, pan installed and tiling has begun. The new water heater was set in place and plumbed, and we now have water again. …Leak free water, to be accurate. I didn’t think it was actually possible to run new plumbing and not have leaks, but hey, there’s something to be learned every day, I guess. Miracles do happen.

However, somehow the plan for the shower tile trim/border/whatever you want to call it was lost in translation and we ended up going from this:

To this:

I’m not going to lie, I do think that what Kelly had requested is a little more “universal” or “unisex” but I still think what’s been done looks good.  Hard to believe that with all this technology to facilitate communication that we can get some details lost in the mix, but oh well.  I’m still satisfied with how it looks.  I’m excited to see it all come together (and to not have to put on those kneepads to do it myself).  I guess there’s another run to the tile store in my future, but worse things have happened.

While all that was going on inside, the real work was going on outside.  Rest assured, it’s starting to get hot.  Painting trim continued and nears completion and the stickers have been removed from the windows (apparently that needed done ASAP).  Bask in the blue/white glory.
