We have been working on a home renovation - week 6.
I carry down various tools, scraps of packaging, rags and buckets with the hope that these items are no longer needed.  Or back up to our bedroom and ensuite bathroom they will go!
It all started with Walter's desire for a shower in our ensuite.  The house was built with only a toilet and sink and built in shelves.  With a few adjustments to the configuration of the bathroom, we could include a tiled shower.
Well, in order to make this shower worth the while, we needed to take out our closet and the hall linen closet.  Then the old bathtub/shower enclosure in our main bathroom could be moved into that former closet space and increase the available space for our ensuite shower project.
This of course, led us to steal space from Daniel's recently vacated bedroom (he just moved out to a house/sharing rental arrangement with buddies).  Might as well make his entire room into a walk-in closet and expand our bedroom square footage.
So out came a wall and gone is Daniel's former bedroom door.  New flooring needed to be installed, stipled ceiling scraped and "Pecan Sandie" paint applied to the walls!
Just as the main bathroom was being finished and our bedroom reorganized, we could turn our attention to the ensuite.  Back where we started...
Today, I stand in front of a beautiful tiled shower, complete with built in bench, shelves and a shower system rivaling a "Star Trek" control panel!  As Walter puts on the finishing touches to the glass shower door, I am eagerly hauling out the unnecessary objects and bags of garbage to speed the process to its long-awaited end!
I must say, after 6 weeks of devotion to this project, it looks clean and shiny and beautiful.
Unfortunately, we don't look quite so bright and new!  I think we are both played out after doing most of the designing, engineering and grunt work ourselves ~ except for hiring a very skilled young man to tape & mud for us; best decision we ever made!
If Walter dares to mention those fateful words, "Honey, what do you think of this idea?"...I may have to book a ticket to a far away destination where no one will have any renovation suggestions!
