More Progress Still

Shower pan is in, with a nifty corner bench! The bench is not wide enough to sit on, but perfect to rest a shaving leg! Next step: adding in the valve for the water, sheet rocking the rest of the shower stall itself, and then tiling.

We seem to have an issue with the tile that we picked. The issue being that it isn't in stock, even though we were told it was when we asked as we were first picking it out. Now, I have to go pick out similar tile, but without Will, who is in Anaheim. I am hoping that I can pick out something similar-enough that he will be pleased and we won't be disappointed in not having the first choice.

We could have the first choice, if we wanted to wait for it to get here-- after Memorial Day. With the manner that these workers are moving (fast! fast!), that two-week delay isn't worth waiting for the originally picked tile.

Heavy duty, modern wiring is now strung through all the rafters and the studs. Tomorrow, the electrician comes to do a "heavy up" and put in a sub panel for the rooms. Big Mike will be hot wiring tomorrow as well, and he and the Other Mike will remove the old wiring.

And I just thought you all would be thrilled to know that Will's hoarding has (yet again) turned out to be a good thing. Another closet will access the air conditioner (so, the opening with all the yellow wiring hanging down-- this is also the closet where the sub panel will be placed) and we had the opening made wide enough to fit this door:

that has been in Will's office for three years now, just waiting for the perfect jamb. Will tells me that he "saved" the door from imminent destruction. Translation: he picked it out of the trash. He has owned it for OVER TEN YEARS, all the time leaning against some wall in his apartment. Yes, some of the rectangles are missing, but it is a very good thing that my Uncle Jimmy was in the glass business. He assures me that he can find matching glass bits for the missing or cracked pieces.

It is also another good thing that Will's father, Edward, does a bit of stained glass work. Ohhhh Edward! We have a project for you! When are you next coming across the pond?!!
