Thanksgiving last week brought most of the progress on the bathroom to a halt. We got the shower pan built:
It spent the rest of the weekend curing. Tomorrow, the tile guys will come back and get to work on the rest of it. They're supposed to be done this week, for sure. The holiday and some illness and family stuff have pushed our schedule a bit, but everything is still moving forward.
Also, my dad and I did this yesterday:
Woot! We've been living without an opener for a year and a half now, and that crap gets old. It was supposed to be a quick, relatively simple project, but it turned into an all-day affair with us trying to make it far more precise than it probably needed to be. No matter, it works now. So that's awesome.
Also, my mom came over, and she and Jenna started talking about painting things. So...now things are getting painted. It's going to be a lot of work to repaint the whole house (yeah, we're totally doing that) with a new neutral color, but the color is awesome. I don't mind doing work when the result will be great. Here's what they got done yesterday, and it already looks really good.
The whole kitchen is going from blue to this new color (Basketry from Behr), and then the family room will follow. Then probably everything else that is currently, what we call "Whole House Neutral".
You can see the old color (left) and the new color (right) in this picture. You can see how it pops so much more with the bright white woodwork. It's richer, warmer, and all around more pleasant. I will be happy to have this color throughout the house, so I'm cool to have it all redone. It's not going to be easy to do with all our stuff in the house now, but we'll make it happen.
So there you go. Progress! Thanks for reading.
