Day 28: The Bathroom Remodel Continues...

I'm tired tonight, so at last I will keep the narrative on this brief.

Rick did a great job with the cut-outs in the
backer board. The spout for the shower head
will come through the upper drywall area.

We started the day adding the backer board and the drywall to the end wall of the tub.  Then Rick spent some time mixing up a little mud to put the corners IN the corners and at the juncture between the walls and the ceiling.

The corners where walls meet ceilings are the worst!
They are a pain to get smooth yet defined.

Alfonso came from the granite company mid-morning to measure for the granite vanity top.  He also measured the windowsill so we can add quartz.

We traveled to the granite company after he left because we had to choose the quartz for the windowsill.  I wanted to keep it mostly white to blend with the window and to match the rest of the white-with-grey-speckles tile windowsills in the rest of the house.  We chose Glacier White because it was not too thick and was the right color. We both hope it works all right.

We will return to the granite company on November 28 when they pull the slab from which we will cut the vanity top.  We want to position the cut to get the best piece of granite for the room since we will be looking at it for the rest of our lives.

Tomorrow will bring about a second coat of mud on the walls, and perhaps we can install some of the baseboard and molding that I painted today.
