Dry Fitting the Trim

We had the inspector come today to review our house and new roof for wind mitigation and waterproofing.  He was not from the city; he was a private inspector who will verify the roof with our insurance company so we can get credit for the new roof.  Long story, short, Citizen's Insurance is not the best in the business, but it is better than anything else available in Florida.  We needed to get this done to keep our insurance. Such is life in hurricane alley.

This afternoon we took down the spiderweb of bracing in the bathroom.  I am happy to report that the boards came down with nothing damaged (including Rick and yours truly), and we were ready to move on to the next phase: the trim.

The outer edge trim is held in place with painter's tape
as we dry-fit the pieces.

Good living comes from good measuring.  We
will have about 1/32  of an inch to spare where the
trim fits under the shower head.

Rick measured the tub walls; we spent a couple of hours this afternoon cutting all of the trim pieces.  At this point, some of the trim is taped to the wall as we dry fit all of the pieces.  Tomorrow, when the weatherman says we will have rain anyway, we will spend the time gluing in the trim pieces and putting all of the bracing back up.

Once that dries for 24 hours, we will be able on Sunday to add the caulk and to cut out the alcove for the shower to finish this project.

Oops! I should not say "finish" yet.  We also have to complete the molding around the vanity and doors, and install the last of the baseboard.  Details, details... Then the main bathroom will be complete.
