(Kerry Here)

Aside from a very minor issue this morning (see image below) the bathroom remodel is going just SUPER !

My caring wife, in what can only be described as a state of pure panic and concern– managed to take like 15 pictures of the incident… Have a laugh yourself –> See Bathroom Remodel Images

Please comment with ideas for a good alternate title for this post – I was going to use one of the following:

• Where’s my shoe ?
• Triplet elevator Install day 1
• Has anyone seen Kerry ?
• You put your left leg in, your left leg out —In out, in out, —you shake it all about You do the Hokey …
• Tickle tickle tickle….

Apparently sandals are not good footwear for construction work- My foot slipped off the supporting beam and well– you see the picture.

More about the remodel

For those of you who don’t know- I decided it would be a good idea to convert our 1/2 bathroom into a full master bathroom. In retrospect this was not a good idea for someone with my caliber of carpentry and remodeling skills. The tasks involved:

• Demolishing the old bathroom- (all of which was rock hard plaster)
• Tearing down a wall and closet, and ceiling and floor
• Ripping out the old bathroom fixtures and plumbing
• Gutting the old electrical work
• Upgrading to a 200 AMP electrical service to accommodate the additional power needed for the new bathroom and new whirlpool tub (Thanks for the help Dad- and nobody was severely electrocuted)
• Running the plumbing for the drainage- including breaking and cutting a huge 4 inch cast pipe (Thanks Warren)
• Cutting a hole in the existing wall to move the door to
• Building a new wall – plastering- painting and trim work-

Whats Left?

• I need to fish 3 runs of 12 gauge wire through the wall (the wall behind my foot above)
• I need to install outlets- switches , recessed lighting, exhaust fan
• Install the whirlpool tub
• Install the sink, toilet , vanity and plumbing
• Install tile , and floor
• Patch the hole in the ceiling
