Bathroom is Done!

The toilet was installed tonight, which means the bathroom is fully operational! There are still a few odds and ends, like decorating and a little touch up paint, but that can wait a week or two. What matters most is that when Kevin arrives tomorrow afternoon, there will be a working (and pretty nice) bathroom for him to use. It was hard to get good shots, as the bathroom is pretty tiny.

The new toilet. It was amazing to see how little space the tank uses. Guess that happens when you go from 3+ gallons per flush (gpf) to 1.4gpf. Geoffrey assisted in lowering the toilet down while I lined up the wax ring, to ensure a water tight seal.

I did take the extra time to hang the mirror, towel bar and new hand towels. The other fun stuff will have to wait.

Well, I think that's about all the renovating you'll see for the new few months. With the weather turning warm, and a patio to install, our efforts will be focused on a few outside activities...and then enjoying the fruits of our labor. I'm especially looking forward to setting up the firepit we received as a wedding present :).

We're off to VA Beach with the pugs to celebrate Easter. Have a great weekend and safe travels to those who will be on the road.

Hey! The b-room looks awesome! Can't wait to give it a try someday. But hopefully you guys will be down to Hotlanta first to try out our new kitchen! :) We're up to the painting now! I'll be updating the blog this weekend. Happy Easter!
