paul got quite a bit done this weekend in the bathroom while i was playing frogger in go kart traffic. he got all the sheet rock hung and is now tiling the shower.....

he did take pics along the way though. all i have to do is get them off his camera and post them. will do it sometime today after i run errands.

plthijinx · 02-28-2011, 10:29 PM

alright. here is the progress made over the weekend. the shower is tiled and we are now grouting with non-sanded grout. i like the contrast from the shower floor to the wall..what do you think? also i mounted the light that goes over the vanity as well. floor tile in too.

It's early, and I'm not a morning person. I just went googling to figure out what "blub out" meant. I figured it must be an industry term.

I thought blubbing in reference to the pubble of water, then considered the source......
