Obviously, we still have things to fix...The toilet seat was the wrong color, need a longer drain pipe for the sink (we raised the vanity height by about 6"), need to replace the new light (it was damaged), paint the inside of the closet...among other things. If Council doesn't take too long tonight I'm moving into the cabinets.
I had to add the garage because it hasn't looked like this since March. This is a big step for the Holte household.

WhoHoo, Lino!
Jason just left and I can hardly contain myself. It is going to take every bit of will power to stay out of the bathroom tonight. The cabinets are calling to me. We probably won't get much more done before Tuesday night with waiting for the floor to set, Landon out of town, and City Council on Monday; but we'll keep posting.

Getting Closer
We have a slight gap in the bathroom remodel sequence, but you're only missing some sheetrocking and mudding, and a bit of plumbing.
As of this very minute, we are waiting for the skimcoat on the floor to dry. This morning we put on the final (2nd) coat of paint, laid the 1/4" birch overlay, and Landon just finished up skimcoating the seams and staple heads.
After the skimcoat dries we will hang the light, towel bar and robe hooks. I don't have a shower curtain rod yet because I haven't decided on a curved rod, a double rod, or just a simple tension rod. Jason should be here sometime this weekend to lay the linoleum and the cabinets will go in as soon as the floor is ready.
We've started returning borrowed tools, so the end is in sight. It's driving Carter crazy that he can't be in the bathroom helping. He's been carrying tools around for three weeks now.
