Walls and Trim = 1/2 bath remodel part 4.

This weekend was a little slow going regarding our bathroom remodel. We got a very late start on Saturday, getting back from Lowes with materials for the walls and trim around noon time. That's VERY late for us, especially considering Aleks left the house by 8:30 to pick up the sink and faucet that morning. (ha ha ha, joke's on us, we have a crapper in our living room as extra seating for the next month... you can keep keep laughing...)Either way, we got working on the walls, which took much longer than expected. We did everything from getting the panels parallel and even on the existing wall, aligned to our pencil line at 4 feet from the floor, and everything else, it was a lot of work. Even Aleks was surprised we didn't get all the walls up in one afternoon.

I think Aleks is getting tired and ready for a 2 week break as he heads down to NYC for work and then we're off to the farm for a 3 day weekend. I just have to say, Aleks did a great job measuring and cutting the holes for all the plumbing along the left wall. I know he's so handy, and I'm so lucky to have him around, but it's really amazing the things he can accomplish sometimes!

I won't even tell you how many cans of liquid nails we went through, but Mason will be high off the fumes for a week from it all! Speaking of the pooch, he's been a great subject for testing out and playing with our new digital camera! We went with the Nikon D60 and LOVE it so far!We're also loving all the snow. Too bad it got dumped onto all the ice we still had, but it's so much fun to play in. We've had Mason off-leash all weekend in both the back and front yards. He's been great about staying on our property and coming when called - most of the time. We've also started keeping him out of his crate and in the family room when we go out sometimes. It's great to find him curled up and sleeping on his bed cushion without destroying anything around the house. He's really settling into being the best dog ever! And to top off the weekend, we're heading to friends of ours in Boston for a pot-luck dinner tonight. We'll be buying our main dish, but we made our now famous (thanks to Mrs. Trainor) peanut butter crunch balls. They are amazing! It's basically crushed up graham cracker and peanut butter (plus some added sugar and butter), rolled up into balls, then dipped in chocolate!So, as we wind down for the weekend, we wanted to share all the progress we've made. I hope you enjoy all the pictures. I'm even more into documenting things now that we have our great camera. We hope everyone's staying warm and well.Come visit us soon!!!
