Bathroom Renovation - Days 8 & 10

Well, I skipped a few days of the progress, but here are Days 8 (June 30th)and 10(today). The 2 main guys had to go up to No. VA to work on the project there again, so their boss came in and did some work. Working alone, he is not as fast as the other 2 guys and he gets lots of phone calls (more problems with the No. VA project) and has to run errands, so he wasn't able to accomplish as much work, as I know they would have liked him to, but they made up for it today. They ran out of tile on Day 8, so they were unable to finish. Chris brought in the tile the next day and finished it off, except he then ran out of the bullnose (trim tiles). Darren and Dallas returned today, cleaned off the tile and finished off the trim work and started grouting. It is amazing what a difference the grout makes. Without it everything looks uneven between the tiles, it will never be perfect since the walls and the tub are not perfectly straight, but once the grout is in, it hides a multitude of sins (LOL!). It is all coming together. Monday they will finish off the grout/caulking and then clean-up good in the bathroom, pour the concrete into the shower floor and while it is setting they will pull the toilet out and the remaining vinyl around it up and then put the new vinyl down and replace the toilet and then coverthe floor with plastic and then put the tiles down in the shower (white 2"x2"), grout/caulk the floor and then start painting and replace the moulding around the base of the walls and paint it and all the trim work around the window, put up the new towel rack, toilet paper holder, hand towel ring and shower door. They are hoping to have everything done by Wednesday. I can hardly wait. It is looking soooooo nice!
