Randy's Nesting Project




With the anticipation of our baby, both of us have taken on "projects" to get ready for the newcoming life in our family. While my projects have been sewing quilts in anticipation of converting my quilting room to the baby's room, Randy's projects have involved using crowbars, drills, saws. The first project was to add shelving to our upper attic space. The second project was to add shelving the garage. The third project which is still in process is the biggest of them all! It involved taking our master bathroom down to the studs and rebuilding it. Randy took out the bathtub-which we gave away on Craig's List- the shower, the sink and finally the toilet! He installed a pocket door frame
The intent of the project was to get it done during vacation time in December, but due to the blizzard in December and then flooding, materials were not arriving in the time frame we had set for them. Last weekend, Randy finally was able to place the new bathtub and then the Wedi board could be installed. Now we are waiting for the rest of the tile to arrive. Randy will put that in himself and I will vacate the house due to the fumes in the grout.
Today's adventure involves picking up a bathroom cabinet. In the end, we will be happy with the final project when it gets done.
