Day 30 - 31: Bathroom Remodel-- Almost Finished!

Rick worked throughout the day yesterday in an attempt to finish the walls around the tub enough to get ready for primer and paint.  We won't be able to finish the tub area, but we can at least get the room "company ready" for when my sister and brother-in-law come for a visit.

The pictures tell the story of two coats of primer, then two coats of paint.  He also patched a little place near the curved lip of the tub where the Swanstone may not cover.

The drywall above the tub area and the backer-
board walls are covered with two coats of primer.
The primer will help seal the backer board for the
Swanstone.

The mirror shows Rick "in the tub" painting
the drywall above the tub area.

No countertop or sink installed yet, but the rest of the room
is ready for visitors.

The shower curtain adds a little life to the room.

The countertop is ordered; it will be available in a couple of weeks.  The same is true for the Swanstone.  It is ordered and projected to be here in about the same time frame.  Now we pray that everything will come in on time and without damage.

Today Rick finished all of the painting and we installed the molding around the closet door.  We cannot install all of the molding around the main door until we get the granite countertop installed.  It is much easier to cut the molding around the granite than to try to shape the granite around the molding.

A few minutes ago we re-hung the shower curtain.  We are finished with the bathroom... for now.  Once the final pieces arrive, we will be able to finish the molding and baseboard.  Then we can spend some time finding the perfect accessories to decorate the room and to make it complete.

With relatives in town, we look forward to a great Thanksgiving week.  Happy Thanksgiving to all who are reading this blog.
