Days 17-20 (No measurable progress on the bathroom.) I worked on my final project for class every night while Terry did some work on the sheetrock.
Day 21: (Friday Dec. 8) My last day of class- afterwards I took a nap all afternoon. Terry fixed the leaky pipes to the tub for the 2nd time. He also worked on the sheetrock. I taped the hardibacker that was up already.
Day 22: On Saturday Terry got the hole cut for the toilet drain and also ran the drain lines for the toilet and sink. Later we got the last piece of hardibacker up in the tub alcove and also put up the rest of the greenboard. I was able to tape the hardibacker and add the caulk between it and the tub. Terry also put another coat of mud on the sheetrock. It's starting to even out really nicely.
Day 23: Finally- we started to put up the tile around the tub. I consulted the tiling book and did a bunch of calculations to figure out where to start. I was very confident in my numbers. I wanted the tiles to be spaced out perfectly.
It started out really well... then I realized my calculations were off and I took solace in our favorite saying... "if all else fails...lower your standards."
Despite my error, it still looks pretty darn good.
