Painting Day 10

Oh, what a NIGHTMARE!! The bathroom was to be done today. Old houses can give you nightmares.

Needed to replace the fan/heater/light that was in the ceiling because the heater and fan had died. Remove old fixture and get the new one out of the box. Oh, no, new fixture is larger than the old one even though it is the same manufacturer and same design. No problem. Cut the hole in the ceiling larger to accommodate the new one. Bet you think that will do the trick. Nope, ends up the wires do not line up. The new fixture has an extra wire. Time to call an electrician.

Removed toilet and tore up floor around it because when that toilet was put in it was not set right so it leaked and rotted the floor. Toilet and floor removed...check.

Remove old vanity to put in new pedestal sink. Oh, my, is that a big hole in the floor? Yep, and check out the hole in the wall. Apparently when the vanity was put in the plumber put a hole in the wall for ??? and one in the floor for ???. Oh, and the new pedestal sink won't go in unless we reconfigure all the pipes. Did I mention nightmare?! So, we may have to go back to another vanity. Oh, all's well in the old house. It just takes longer to do things in them.

So, the painter did get the tub walls regrouted and filled the holes on the walls. That is something and a move forward. Just a small set back to try us. We will continue to move forward. Don't forget tomorrow is another day!
