Bathroom Renovation: Day 5 Prognosis

Well, today is a little sunnier than yesterday, and not just in the sky. We made a LOT of progress yesterday, and finished most of the flooring. B has it so sturdy and level that an elephant could use the toilet without issue. The floor needs one section of plywood installed and then will be ready for Durock cement board for under the tiling.

I removed a boarded up window (and the siding on the other side), framed in the opening to accomodate the slightly smaller new (old home salvaged) window, and installed the window. Then I insulated the room with some mold-resistant insulation. It's ready for sheet rock now.

Today we will put up the wall boards, and maybe prime and paint. Wouldn't that be nice?? We could also put up wainscoting if we had the time, and then install some of the "cosmetic" things, like the medicine cabinet and connect the lights. It would be good to have a light in there, however, we do have a lovely window, and for the first time in a lot of years, that room is basking in the eastern sunshine.

So am I.
