Slave Labor AKA Dave Labor

I have spent the last three days in bathrooms.....Before you get any nasty mental images, we are renovating the bathrooms. On Friday I spent the entire day repainting the walls, ceilings, and trim in the guest bathroom. I reinstalled all the hardware, and wired in a new light fixture over the mirror. Then Saturday and Sunday, I tackled the other bathroom doing the same things. Repainting the ceilings and walls, installing a new light fixture, painting the trim, cleaning up, etc. Not to mention that I spent Saturday morning mowing the yard - and of course it was hot...

But the good news is that everything is done except for the countertops, sinks and a few other small things. The new bathrooms are free from ugly wallpaper. I must say, they do look pretty nice compared to what they used to look like. At least now the upstairs is in enough order that we can have the cleaning ladies come up here to clean. It has looked like a construction zone for the last month or so....

We are going to wait to buy new granite countertops until next month. We're trying to spread out the expenses a bit. But after we get those installed, it shouldn't be too hard to finish up and be done with the "Great Bathroom Renovation of 2008". At least this summer it wasn't building a retaining wall in the Texas sun. We will post some pictures when we have everything completed.
