New Bathroom Sink

    Earlier this week Mom bought a new sink for our bathroom online and today we picked it up and set it up inside the house.  The plumbing for the sink isn’t hooked up yet, but we’re looking forward to having 1.5 baths instead of, well I suppose, 1.25 baths. Does a toilet-only bathroom count as a quarter-bath?

 

The box was fairly heavy because of the marble “countertop,” but with the dolly, getting the sink inside was just a matter of rolling it in.

Mortar Mess, Shoe for Trim and Leak in the Kitchen Sink

We started mopping the floor a little bit and using some special haze remover solution, but the tiles still look they are covered my mortar and look dull. We’ve been contacting the installers because they were supposed to clean the floors before they left. I’m not sure how or when it will be resolved.

Mom picked up some more trim boards that are called the “shoe” and will cover where the 1x4 meets the floor. They were already primed so I had to put a coat of paint on that,

There was a “leak under the kitchen sink” (that seems to be a bit of a cliché) and the flooring inside of the cabinet had become wet and has collapsed. We’ll have to replace the floor with some new plywood before we can fix the leak.

 

 

Emptying the Living Room & A New Sub-floor

This Saturday we got accomplished quite a lot it one day!

Benjamin and Noah stripped out the back bathroom before we left for Florida and Noah scraped off some of the paint.

 

As you can see the living room was a wreck and I thought it’d take us a few days to get everything moved out.

 

However, after a few hours we had all of the bookcases out and had moved them into Benjamin’s room.

The boxes were easily moved out and all of that was left were a few odds and ends.

 

 

After getting the living room and kitchen in order we worked on putting the new subfloor into the bathroom.

We brought in a few tiles from one of the pallets outside on the driveway so we could get an idea of what the flooring will look like:

 

The tile is going to be arranged in a brick pattern like the picture above.
