Day 23 - Shower Walls


Today, 3/4 of the shower was completed. The front and side walls were put up. The contractor said the Swanstone was a great product to work with. It's hard to see in my fuzzy picture, but the walls are white with a dark blue speckle. It was substantial, cut easily, and adhered without having to brace it. Which means, we get to use the shower tonight! The mud patch on the third wall was not thoroughly dry due to the high humidity this week. They put a sheet of plastic over that wall. With two of the 3 walls up, and the new shower head and safety valve, it doesn't look so much like the shower in Psycho anymore. Phew


Still left to be done: electrical for washer/dryer, fan and shower light, bathroom lighting, GFI outlets, under floor heating element, tiling, cabinets, window trim and paint, ceiling and paint, new toilet. The contractor expects the bathroom to be finished by the end of next week. Knock On Wood


The vanity had to be reordered as the one that arrived was severely damaged. The new one is scheduled to ship on the 7th and should arrive at the plumbing supply the following week. He said it wouldn't take him more than an hour or two to install the vanity, sink top and connect the plumbing. We can just call him back when the vanity arrives.


Still aways to go and other than the floor and shower walls, it still is ugly.

  2. If he can install a vanity in 2 hours or less, well, this I've got to hear to believe! It took my Dad three days, he hit the pipe and water spewed all over the walls and floor and into the basement, he broke the pipe and had to go to the hardware store for more (after turning off all the water), then he didn't get the vanity flush to the walls so he had to nail it with a hideous looking brace. It also leaks.

    Maybe the two hour version cuts out all that adventure! LOL
