Bathroom Update!

This bathroom update brought to you by me.. :)

Today has been a long day! I spent almost 12 hours solid working on the bathroom. It turned out that I actually had to pull another wall of sheet rock off. This was due to how I thought I would be able to do the room. It turned out differently.

As of today, the bathroom is nearly usable. The shower is ready, the toilet is on and hooked up. Only thing left is to get the sink ready, although I should add that the sink will be temporarily setup so that it can be used. But the vanity has to come out again when I get ready to complete the tile floor. The new look is great, it feels much bigger. It is pretty exciting to see it all starting to take shape. The hard work is starting to pay off!

I have a contact that is a dry waller so I may try to get him to do the finishing work, you know the mud and sanding. That should be the last messy part!

I can't wait for it all to be finished.

Till next time...

P.S. I will take some more photos soon, it is hard to get a good view with the camera and the small room. May be able to send one from the phone tomorrow.

Training Officially Underway...

Tuesday officially started my 16 week program. Tomorrow will be my second run. I managed to get 2 miles in as my training was scheduled. I then stretched and did another mile of switching between running fast and walking.

I am excited to get this all under way, just going to have to start saving the $$ for the registration fee. The marathon is a little pricey, but that will give me a bit more motivation.

Going to try to hit the gym tomorrow morning early for Run #2. Will update when I can!

Bathroom Update

Seems that the bathroom remodel is really coming along. Today we got everything from the Home store, which I won't mention a name(details another time). Tomorrow the plumbers are coming to actually install the Bathtub and get it all plumbed.

I have a feeling this bathroom will be technically usable by Friday, which was my goal! This is going to be really nice when it is all completed! I can't wait.

I keep saying this, but pics will be posted soon :)

No Shaving...

So I thought I might try a little challenge to my self. Yeah, this will be difficult considering my hate for facial hair. This morning mostly because I was lazy, I didn't shave. So I thought, I would go without shaving until the bathroom is usable for a shower.

I had originally asked for this week off work, and we had canceled the trip. Due to a lack in funds. It turns out that when I showed up today people where surprised to see me. I decided that starting at noon on Tuesday I will take the rest of the week off to work on the bathroom.

Thus I thought it would be a fun little experiment with letting the beard grow to see how long I could get it to go. I bet that the hair will get to me before the weekend... Oh, and BTW, usable means shower and toilet :)
