bathroom 11


The very last of the tile gets stuck on to the wall today…

I’ve learned how to, and have personally hung a good third to half of the tile in the bathroom.

Discovered Kevin’s got a knack for cutting tiles.

Together – we’ve been able to really help move things along – otherwise our handyman guy would be here till May still wrestling with these damn pissy ass tiles.

Chad’s also proved himself to be a good wood sander / stainer / polyurethaner.

The glass company came out yesterday to measure for the shower partition… another is coming out tomorrow. (I’m getting two bids…. although it may be a no-brainer since the first company said they’d give me a designer discount… *ching*)

Window allegedly shipped, via glacier, from New York today – will be here on Tuesday of next week. (?)

Can’t order lockers till I catch up financially.

Getting another sheet of plywood and finishing, (more for Chad! – but another day or two of labor and waiting) – this will go into the “wonky angular space above the sink” – *thanks for the recommendation mark_monroe!!!

The lack of regular bathing and grooming is starting to really make me look like a unibomber.

I pooped.

a lot.

yeah… *blush* – it’s a stark 3…. I think this qualifies as as super gay.

meanwhile:

Ideas for and techniques for squatting in public toilets:

in office buildings:
Always keep your briefcase with you… maybe even a clipboard, (somehow they still convey an air of purpose even in the 21st Century). Proceed directly to the bathroom on that floor without making eye contact with anyone… If you must ask someone where the bathroom is – continuously look at your watch or fidget with your cell phone to imply you’re late for an appointment.

in restaurants:
Walk in and look around like you lost your dog… When greeted by the hostess, (don’t make eye contact – continue looking around helplessly) – tell him/her that you’re supposed to meet a group of friends for (insert appropriate meal here)…. pause for a moment – long enough for the host / hostess to start offering suggestions like ordering a drink or getting a table – but cut them off with a sigh and asking where their restroom is…. go do your thing – once out – return to the front of the restaurant and look around (more) nervously… place your cell phone to your head and proceed to have a conversation, with no-one, about being at the meeting place and nobody being there yet… Act like you’re having trouble hearing by placing your free hand over your free ear… Do this and head for the door… Once outside – get in your car and go.

in gas stations:
pretty much don’t need to put on airs… but if your karma is fragile – buy a Slushie on your way out.

bathroom 9


Cantilevered (illusion) vanity top installed.

Lincandecents (light fixtures) installed and working
Mirror installed
Mirror heater (on switch for shower overhead can) hooked up and working
Skylight interior lightwell finished with poly birch plywood (Same used on wall)
Window wall tiled.

Window – (mysteriously?) – won’t be here till January 15… (ordered it on November 20th)… #@$$@#%#!#@%@# So – it’ll be a while still before we can shower – but the plumber is coming today to hook up the toilet and sink.

gotta poop.

bathroom 8


*blank stare*

oh… my… god… this is taking soooooo long.

The wall with all the fixtures and stuff is finally done.. Grouting it today… Sealing tonight – and will have the plumber out this Friday to put the commode on – so at least we’ll be able to poop in the house.

Still two walls to go….. the long tiles are pretty but a real bitch to hang….

We’ve hit that remodelers remorse stage I think… I’m still reassured it’s “like child birth… you’ll forget all about the pain once it’s done….

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
