Looks all too familiar.

There is nothing like having company to get things moving!

Good luck and Happy Holidays.

It could be worse. At least its not a dusty pile of debris. And its a short trip to the head.

When do we start measuring the ETA in hours?

Posted by: guest at December 20, 2007 3:55 PM

If it's hobby work, you're doing great. If with ETA and counting, good luck. I feel your pain.

The toilet can be installed in 45 minutes. I would not bother with tiling the floor if it is not already done. Just get a piece of roll-out flooring and secure the edges and thresholds. Ultimately, the bathroom may end up primed and painted, etc., but won't it smell strongly of adhesives and paint? Or have you used low VOC products?

Good luck...but I'm not sure why this has become a recurrent story on Brownstoner...I guess it's supposed to be some sort of "reality check" themed saga...?

Listen, you can empty out the guest room in an hour if you haven't pulled an all-nighter the night before. Just, please, wear a dust mask when you do it. Take a good box cutter and cut down unneeded cartons and put everything you may still need but can't deal with in an empty box (tape up the joints so nails/screws, etc. do not slip through) or into an empty joint compound bucket. Basically...pick up the floor protection sheeting and if poss., curve it and slide all manner of everything into a joint compound bucket.

Use a good dust mop on the walls, wash down the mantle, vacuum and mop the floor et voila. Collapse!

I like a big sink.

Ditto - love the sink.

I bought the same sink on ebay....$45.00.....plus shipping...you would be amazed at what people want to get rid of.

with such nice tiling, I think the sink looks clunky. sort of like a catholic grammar school boy's bathroom sink.

Exactly, 10:46, so for those of us who didn't attend catholic boys grammar schools, who can be nostalgic about the institutional nature of the sink, that's what makes it cool.

Also way functional. As an apartment dweller, without a basement for a utility tub next to the W/D, a bigger deeper sink makes handwashing of clothing and other stuff so much easier.
