So January 9th found our salle des bains in preparation for the final push.
Through the ensuing weekend we worked!
Creating a floor where before there had been but, um, a floor!
We took the next Wednesday off of work!
We celebrated the Martin Luther King weekend!
And on Monday, January 18, 2010, we declared the project [basically] finished. Which is to say, there's still a lot of little nit-picky stuff to do, but it is fully functional as a rather nice bathroom, as long as you aren't finicky about doorknobs.

Amazing! You guys are my DIY heroes. I wish we had your mad renovating skillz!
ReplyDeletenicely done 5000's. and the new haircut looks good too.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I may have to send my small inspectors to view & use in the near future--say, April?
ReplyDeleteI admire your bravery, putting that floor in a bathroom--or, I guess it's not so much bravery as confidence that bathers (being older than, say, eight) will not splash tidal waves of water over the edge and onto the beautiful floor.
Well done, you (two). Can't wait to see it in person.
1. Bathroom looks AWESOME!
ReplyDelete2. Nice haircut.
3. Nothing sexier than a woman with power tools! Rock on Mrs.5000 =P
Nice job guys!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the picture of the vent. Those of us who are remodeling warriors know just exactly how arduous a task it is to install a new floor vent. (wink!)'
ReplyDeleteNo, but seriously-- good work! That color should work well with a hangover, too. (Judging from M5000's face as he looks up from the bald floor....)
Ta dah!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work you two. Love the colors and floor choice. Does this call for a bathroom-warming party?
ReplyDeleteWell done! And am I correct in assuming you have another bathroom to use this whole time?
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDelete5000 thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteooh, pretty!
