bathroom 3


Officially out of a shower and toilet now.

“Roman” – the guy our plumber referred to us to pour / make the shower basin was a riot and exceptionally good. Between rounds of letting his stuff set up, he sat around with Kevin and conspiracy gabbed about the coming societal collapse.

Interesting notes:

When buying beverages, evaluating not only the nutritional content but also evaluating if you can slip you dick in the top of it to whiz.

The girls at Starbucks so know what I’m up to… but don’t seem to mind me pooping in their store every morning.

You learn to travel with towels and underwear… because you never know when the opportunity to mooch a shower will present itself.

Welcome to the apocalypse bathroom.

Though thanks to the skylight, our facilities would make for ideal shooting for either a home improvement show or gay porn…. or both?

Next up: Tub and toilet get yanked…. floor gets jack hammered up, shower drain put in and toilet stack moves to over about 5 inches.

bathroom 1


Yeah.. remember that bathroom project we were starting?

That was all before the fit hit the shan that fateful week back in August when Dad got sick *and* I decided to go back to freelancing and give up a regular paycheck. (I dumbfound myself at times with my knack for less than ideal timing).

So… here it is December and we’re getting to the bathroom.

A few snags along the way.. bad decisions ’cause I don’t know what I’m doing… (ordering the wrong kind of window…. original choice in floor tile too big to use in the shower… etc. etc. etc.). Can confidently say I’ve learned a whole lot though.

It’s definitely a “process”.

This has deepened my reverence and respect for my architect friends.

So… anyway – we’re off! no turning back now.

holy shit.

shitter 2.0_2


The skylight company banged it out, (somewhat literally), before 2pm yesterday.

Serendipity would strike… I had spec’d the skylight to be perfectly centered in the ceiling. Once they got in there they noticed that the 2′ x 4′ opening would fit perfectly between the roof’s beams with no need to cut anything.

The portal’s now sits at a real nice 1/3 : 2/3 line in the ceiling in line with the door and natural pathway into the room.

I think I’m going to have the carpenter finish out the light-well with natural / varnished plywood instead of drywall… (closet to the left is getting stripped back to natural wood).

The only word I can think of to explain taking a shower this morning and looking up at clouds while rinsing my hair was….
…….
luxurious.

This is going to be another one of those “never another without” things…

you know, like your first car with power-windows… “Wow.. I’ll never own another car without ’em!”

or fireplaces.

or now… a skylight.

🙂 happy.
