Well, seeing how's it's been windy for about a month now....The Admiral said why don't you remodel the hall bathroom..........

Demo:

mirror 3 ft x 4 ft glued to the wall.
old drywall / repair other areas
base board moldings
toilet
cabinet over the toilet

Completed items:

Installed new drywall and made repairs
textured walls (orange peel) as the rest of the house is the same.
installed tub surround (a few months ago)
sanded and sanded and primed the walls for paint
painted yesterday (Peach)
laid new tile today (never done this before)
grout tomorrow (nor-this)
purchased a new and bigger base cabinet (White)
new cabinet to match the base for over the toilet (White)
new cultured marble sink / counter combo
new faucets (brushed nickel)
new mirror (White to match cabinets)
light assembly (brused nickel)
New toilet enlongated style (White to match)
Bathtub will be re-glazed white to match everything else

So far everything is on schedule (my schedule) as the weather is going to break any day now.........

So, this is what I have been doing for the past couple of months (well planning) and working a lot of overtime to pay for this project.

Any projects for you guys.....

Please don't remind me of the things I've promised L J in the heat of passion. Hopefully she'll forget most of them. I seem to remember promising to paint the upstairs bedrooms, replace the carpet in one of the upstairs bedrooms, replace the carpet in the upstairs landing, paint the office area, pressure wash the decks and the front of the house, have dirt put in the back yard over the tree roots, build an enclosure around the HVAC units in the rear of my shop, put a privacy fence alongside the rear driveway..... I gotta stop this, I'm getting nauseous.........

TB Hawks - was wondering where you've been

TB Hawks · 04-14-2006, 08:30 AM

Lost in the Bathroom, can't come out till it's finished....except the door going out to the pool is open and I sneak out to the Bar, and back in before she know's I was gone.....doing the grout work today.

For me the best way to get the weather to improve is to start a projet or start working on the boat.

Another great way to improve the weather is to buy a small blow boat.

Wouldn't that be like buying a snowblower?

Others may have slipped on this but not me,

WHERE'S THE PICS TOM,

you know us THTer's have to have our pics.

Bill, I knew it! I knew it would eventually come out, gheeeesh that almost sounds more like of a prison sentence then a love affair.

So how bad are the whip marks on your back?

Pssst, go slow and save some for tomorrow, that way you will be extending her happiness.

And beside, you don't want to start all over again once you've finished your current list now do you?

Just one more small project and it will be time to hit the water in the boat.....

BEFORE:

AFTER:

$1500.00 in materials and 80 hours of part time work. The Admiral Loves it....
