Small Bath... here we go!

I got side tracked for a little while and have been focusing on the house quite a bit. Not only has the weather kicked up but the amount of work on the house has also increased. Since the last entry, we've done a ton of work setting everything up outside. But now I am focusing back on the inside. The project started a bit ago, and we wanted to finish it before it got too warm out... but it has dragged a little bit. Anyway, it only took a weekend to demolish the entire bathroom and now its time to put everything back together. And like the kitchen before, putting it all back together is the tougher and less predictable than taking something apart.

I have mudded and sanded all the walls as smooth as 100 year old plaster can be... but we also found that there has been considerable (shoddier) work previously done which must be reversed (sigh). I need to repair a couple of holes that were left behind the giant mirror from a previous medicine cabinet and outlet. I also reinforced and repaired the flooring around the toilet/closet flange and prepped the pipe to accept a new flange. After the walls are complete, I will tackle the floors. Those will be tiled with hexagonal tile, period correct for the age of the house.

New baseboards for the bathroom are being created by my Carpenter while he is working on a custom wine rack for the kitchen. New bathroom fixtures are slated and should not be too difficult to install (I say that now...).

That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back for more....
