Only a few more days until I can take a shower!

The master shower got grouted today and will be sealed on Saturday. I probably won't get a shower by Sunday, but maybe by Wednesday night. Even if we don't have the showerhead installed I could probably take the cap off the pipe you see at the top of the picture. Yes, I'm THAT anxious, NO I'm not THAT impatient!

A close up of the floor and shelves. The bottom shelf is for leg shaving - a must have every once in awhile!

There is a top shelf in each of the four corners. I hope I have enough stuff to put on all the shelves. ;o)

(The shower is not completely wiped clean of grout so it is still a little dusty)

The bathroom space doesn't allow for a really good picture, but this might give an idea of one end of the "walk-in" shower. We'll finish the outside and top with trim...but I don't need it to take a shower!

(The blue tape is not part of the design!)

Spring Fever

Who wants to mud and caulk when the sun is shining?! Not me!

I don't have much of a yard to work with this year, but I found a few things to do outside. The best part?... working in a tank top all day and I was still overly warm!

The transplanted star magnolia tree has buds! It now has its own "rockery" too.

I was able to resurrect half of my garden from the excavation demolition.

The kids worked on moving a mountain! They played all day in the dirt/mud.

It was a wonderful first day of spring break.

Addition update

Progress has been made! Electrical is done. We've moved onto window trim. Randy completed the downstairs and moved upstairs yesterday. Now I have a bazillion holes to mud, seams to caulk, and paint! That ought to keep me busy during spring break this week. Once the window trim is done, we'll move to doing the bare floors, then carpet, then move in. There's no date set for moving day, but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The guest shower. We still need to trim out the top to give it a finished look. Oh yeah, and install the shower head and faucet! Oh yeah, and cut down the drain pipe and put a cover on it.

A close up of the accent trim. Isn't it cute?! I went for an antiquey look. This will match the antique dresser that will become the sink vanity.

Tessa's countdown to vacation!

We are all looking forward to palm trees, sunshine, water, and lawnchairs.
