The Fourth of July Trip



Finishing the bathroom
Well we just got back from the farm.  We went up Sunday night and returned Wednesday evening, July 4th 2018.  As usual, we anticipated finishing the bathroom this trip.  Each trip we have been saying that and to our disappointment, we don't.  However, we finally did it, well almost.  We have everything in place and ready to hook up.  We also still need the essential hardware for a bathroom: toilet paper roll, towel rack, cabinet, decoration etc. 
As I said, we arrived Sunday evening and we got right to work. We started putting up the Wainscoting.  We got about half way done when we realized we would not have enough to finish the job. This is constantly happening. So our advice to you if you are remodeling, buy more than you think you need and then take back what you don't use. So anyway, the next day we took a road trip to Beloit (an hour away) and bought some more.  This time we did it right. We now have one pack of Wainscoting to return. However, we did not just make this trip for Wainscoting; we had also run out of Liquid Nails to put up the Wainscoting and grout for the floor. So frustrating! 

However, it is now done and we are very happy with it.  We are also almost done with our bedroom.  The ceiling needs a little more sanding and then paint. This will be our next task.  

Here she is!
