A picture is worth a 1000 words

The cavity behind the wall where the vanity will go

The cavity is now a towel shelf

Some time ago

As of yesterday

 I am so pleased with what has happened this week.  Getting the tub and water in on Monday was great and finishing the floor yesterday was a "mountain top" happening!  The floor is not sanded and finished yet but that will happen and it will look very nice.  I called the wood shop that built the vanity and medicine cabinet and I am hoping they can be installed today or tomorrow, of course I do not know their schedule so we will see.
This morning I feel like I imagine an old man would feel like.  After going from the second floor to the wood shop 100's of times in the last 2 days and then kneeling and pounding my right arm is sore, my knees hurt, my hands are sore from pulling out slivers pretty much on the half hour and my body feels like it has been tossed into the air and allowed to fall to the ground as the arms and legs went in all directions!  I may have said that I intended to install the floor from the beginning but as time got short I wanted the floor guy to do it.  He could work it into his schedule in about 2 weeks SO my original plan went into effect.  The good thing is it is finished and we saved some money.  IF a person ever felt that Brazilian Walnut was the right flooring they should be 110% sure because it is not a fun wood to work with.  The dust is nasty, the slivers are hurtful and the hardness is to the point that you can not nail it at all.  I thought about carrying the 90 pound avil up the stairs and then dropping it on the floor to see if it would dent--not really but it did enter my mind!   With the few nails I needed to use I thought I would drill a hole about 2/3 into the wood and then nail as I thought that would be a better hold down--wrong as the nail bent like a piece of string even with most of the hole drilled.
I am almost afraid to think of all the finishing work that needs to be done BUT it will happen and in the end it will be fun to use the new bathroom.
I think Terry's back is slowly getting better.  When I say slowly I mean that with a BIG S.
As I sit at the computer I can see a ting of brown/orange color in the trees.  I did not need that to tell me that fall is here as each morning I step outside to get the paper the chill in the air comes rushing in like it needs a home.
It looks like October will come in with temps in the 70s and sunshine.  That means I need to spend a bit of time around the outside of the house touching up some places that need prime and paint.  A little work now saves a lot of work down the road.
Today the main project is to put the finish on the frame for the large mirror and install it in the frame.  It can not be hung until the vanity and back splash are in.  The mirror is quarter inch glass that measures about 36X50 and near the top it has a 4" hole for the electrical.  I get nervous as it sits in the  wood shop and I need to work around it.  In my dreams I can see myself knocking it over and watching as it becomes a thousand pieces of garbage.  THAT CAN NOT AND WILL NOT HAPPEN.
I said a picture is worth a 1000 words, don't know why I used so many words this morning.
No, the bathroom is calling, the wood shop is calling and the FP says that it is finished--time to work.
