We are pretty close to being done now. There are some details that have to be worked out still. Nothing major. I still need to learn how to properly cut crown molding, so I can install that. Some of the trim still needs paint. Minor stuff.
Yay!

Bathroom Remodel - Day 17
Well we got a lot done since I last posted. The sink is in, the toilet is in, the bead-board is up and some of the trim is done. We are nearing the end! Thank god!
Tomorrow our custom cabnets for the closet should be here so we can install those too. That and some embelishments should pretty much finish it up.
Oh that and painting. We have been looking at a green (see pic above) but I'm not sure we will go with that. If that is the worst thing we have to worry about now then we are in good shape.

Poor Cleo
Well this afternoon was gut wrenching. Melly got home to find out that two stray dogs attacked and mauled poor Cleo really badly. Our neighbor was able to save her from death but she was pretty hurt.
Melly took her to the vet, I was still on the way home. The vet said she didn't appear to have any broken bone, her back was ok, and no signs of internal bleeding. She was in pretty bad shock though. She was seeming to be doing better when we left the vet though. If she makes it through the night she'll still have a long recovery but I suspect she'll be past the worst. God I hope.
Loki, our male cat was no where to be seen. We were scared that he might be hurt some where, but he finally came home. He was visibly shaken when he came in, like he was scared to be around the house. But he's safe and sound. Needless to say he'll be staying in the house tonight and probably tomorrow. But we can't keep him inside forever, that's not fair and he's not as dumb as he sometimes acts. He clearly found a safe place to hide today.
It's hard dealing with that kind of emotion. I was nearly sick, physically ill, on the ride home knowing something happened to Cleo. I was very angry too. Angry at the dogs and angry at Nashville Animal Control, who is too under funded, under staffed, etc etc, to take care of all the strays in Nashville, much less our neighborhood. I'm still angry, but I have to let it go a bit or the bile will build up and I'll get sick again. I'll probably still be popping antacids tonight.
Tomorrow morning I'll call and find out how Cleo is. I hope she is ok.
UPDATE: She didn't make it through the night. :( Animal control is supposed to come out and find the other dog responsible. The 'brother' was picked up yesterday.

Bathroom Remodel - Day 12
Well last night we didn't feel like doing much. Sunday wore us out! Tonight we grouted the tile though. It was more work than I expected! But it's done! We'll soon be able to install the new toilet!

Bathroom Remodel - Day 9
Day 9 is done. Another long day but we got a lot done. The rest of the drywall went up and the concrete board for the tile went up around the tub. That was a lot of work. Those boards are heavy.
Though the pictures don't show it, we got the first coat of drywall mud up too.
Tomorrow is tile day!

BathroomRemodel - Day 7
I didn't get as much done tonight as I'd have liked. In part because I was having tool problems but mostly because my patients was low. Maybe because of the stupid tools.
The tub is secured properly and the tar paper all up and sealed in around the tub. This should keep it nice and water tight in the unlikely event that water gets behind the tile and backer board.
The sheet rock is a mold/mildew resistant kind. I was familiar with it being called 'greenboard' but this clearly isn't green. Maybe it's a brand thing. I dunno.
Tomorrow...no work. I'm going to go see IronMan with a buddy from work.
