Hello all. Sorry for the delay since the last post, but I spent last week on the road for work and this week has been a mad dash to get the house ready for Snarktoberfest 2007 :-) However, with all the hub-bub going on around us, we basically met our goal of having a 'functional' master bath before the kinttas arrive. We did have to make some sacrifices in the name of 'functional,' like no sinks and an unfinished floor (more on that later), but the new shower is pretty darned cool. In fact, Beth and I have been taking our morning showers in it all week :)
The latest finished tasks are completed wainscoting and re-hanging the door. We're keeping all of the the original doors that were left in the house when we bought it. They're in great shape and just need some scraping and re-painting to make them look perfect again. The master bath door is quite funny since at some point in the past, the house settled about 2 inches near this doorway (as shown by the sloping floor and slanted door framing! So, what did they do? They trimmed the top of the door to be shorter on one side! It looks rather odd on its own , but inside the door frame, it fits perfectly. I had to trim it down a bit more on all sides to accommodate the new casings, but it's good to go now.
I had the best intentions of re-finishing the floor too, but we just ran out of time. What it boiled down to was I didn't want to run the risk of having tacky polyurethane on the floor when a house full of people needed to take showers. It can wait until the October rush is past and it's just me, Beth , and the kitties again. No pictures to post right now but I'll get a few up soon.
