...so far...so good

first G painted the walls & ceiling...
then after setting the shower faucets "for good"...
it was on to removing the old and setting up the new...
toilet, that is...[see previous post...]

then it was finally time for the new medicine cabinet...



with the trim that perfectly matched my windows...
and came with chrome hardware & primed, ready to paint...
[Mr GT...notice the perfectly placed catfood tower workbench ?]



the screws were NOT philips head...
& the per-drilled holes were not good either...
so G measured, re-drilled and replaced the lame screws...
[after 2 of 4 broke in the wood...]



then after more measuring...& leveling...
and a decision to set it in...
with extra long, pressure driven brads...
rather than too short wood screws...

it was in...

it came with a crown molding top...
but I decided to leave it off since without it...
the trim is exactly the same as the window & door...



the door will be painted first, then attached...
there are 2 adjustable glass shelves...
that's what the pegs are for...

then G moved on to the grab bar...



they had planned ahead and marked the location...
so it was a matter of using the right drill bit...



and it was up !

I considered having one by the toilet too...
but this one is high enough...
that getting up is NOT a concern for me...
at least, not at this time...



here you see the new toilet & valve, the new sink valves...
& the med.cab. box in place...



here, the shower faucets are in for good...
and the grab bar is attached...



because of the new window sill...



there are some minor window repairs needed...
[and, no, I did NOT suddenly lose my mind & paint the trim, pink...
I was wearing a bright orange sweatshirt, which reflected...]



tomorrow...this should get painted...
along with most of rest of the trim...
then, when the paint's dry, the door can go on...
and the shelves can go in...



and the reason for all this plumbing, the pedestal sink...
should be installed & hooked-up...

what we don't know...

is when the shower door assembly will arrive...
or how long it will be before the final tile/grout seal...

in other words...I'm still waiting to find out...
just when, I can take my first shower at home...

just guessing, but I'd say, at least a good week...

but it will be worth it...
