a day of rest and then some grouting

we went ahead and took yesterday as our labor day. so we rested. we went to home depot for some supplies then went  to three different plumbing stores to find the overflow and waste pipes we need for the tub. james had his heart set on chrome and turns out most are plastic 'cause they are usually hidden by walls. our will show a bit though so he wanted the chrome. so. as luck would have it george moreland had it.

the rest of the day was mellow. we went to case study for some delicious coffee and talked to chris about the joys of diy tiling. check out the bathrooms at  case study on 53rd and sandy. chris did a great job on those!

i made some stuffed peppers and james worked on the floor trim. we had an early night!

this morning the plan was to put in the floor trim then tile the walls. then tomorrow grout the whole thing. but then james realized we have to grout the floor before we can put in the floor trim. oh. rude. so. change of plans. we will now grout the floor today then tomorrow (it has to cure for 16 hours) we will put in the trim and tile the walls. we will also bring in the toilet (hurray!) and the tub so we can figure out where it will sit. james has to drill for the drain and the tub filler. so, a little bit of a delay but we will press on. progress!
