Hi, kids! We have a tub!

Jeff here, posting because.......well, because Derek is still sick. AND he worked his tail off today working with the plumber to get the tub installed. Part of what he had to do involved totally removing the half-wall (as posted last night) and MOVING IT ALL OF A HALF INCH so the tub could ACTUALLY fit in the spot we've reserved for it. I'd say Derek's framing worked okay. Much better than my picture taking....

The tricky and maddening part of all of this was that the wall HAD to be rebuilt while our plumber (who, by all accounts, rocks by the way...) worked the plumbing so he could actually have something to install the shower piece on. Otherwise, we would have had to schedule ANOTHER visit with him just to get that bit done.
As you can see, Derek works fast:


Unfortunately, that fast of work and that HARD of work did NOT do wonders for his cold, and he is pretty much laid up in bed suffering through Inside Edition or something equally vapid while he tries to sleep.

Aren't the fixtures beautiful, though? That's the biggest showerhead I've ever owned. And it's all so..........shiny.

Speaking of fixtures....hey, look Ma! No toilet!

Heh. Allegedly, the old toilet had to be removed for this process. But, I just like to think it was because it was heinously ugly.

Next step - we'll start tiling! (Maybe tomorrow, depending on how up to snuff we feel....)
