Projects never go on the timeframe I quote, we should all know this by now. I quoted a month for the entire bathroom rebuild. I thought that was from start to 100% finish. That is not going to happen. When we get to the 95% mark we will need to measure and order the new wood trim and it will take a few weeks for it to arrive. But the goal is still to take a shower and use the sink and toilet by the end of the month.
Yesterday we got the floor cut and then I had to drive to the Tricities to pick up our vanity and granite top. I brought some towels and between the towels and tarps I was able to put the granite top in the bed of the pickup and wrap up the vanity in a tarp and strap it down for the ride home. It was of course raining hard the entire trip. While I was driving to the Tricities the Tile store called to tell me that my shower pan would be another week before it arrived! This is not good news. I stopped by there on my way home to get more all set and to get the depth of the shower pan 2 5/16”. This way I can set the wall tile start height above this and continue to get the shower tiled in. I can do the walls outside of the shower and the floor outside the shower. If I am that far ahead and still no pan, I will grout the floor and wall tiles outside the shower and install the vanity. There are always projects to keep going on. I could install the tongue and groove above the tile. This will not slow down progress. Mr Rainman has been working on getting our old door stripped so we can recondition it and use it as our pocket door. We staged the Kerdi-board in the hallway so I could install it on Thursday.
Mr Rainman got the entire floor down and attached while I was doing errands. We are now ready for the Kerdi-board.
