Almost there, but ...

The asymptotic approach the end of the project continues.  Slowly, the bathroom is being reassembled.  This involves putting back in the glass:

The cabinets and the lights:

And the all-important accessories :

But, and here is the asymptotic part, there are still a few small details that are yet to be done, as shown by out faithful companion and ever-present marker, the blue tape, complete with Alice in Wonderland instructions:

And some even less clear instructions:

Just as importantly as getting back a working bathroom,  the bedroom that served as the staging area for the project went from this:

Back to this:                                                                      

And this:

So the net gain here was 1 bathroom and 1 bedroom.

And to summarize:

Let's hope this is the last blog entry on this subject.

And on to the next exciting project ....

Stretching Home

If there is one place where Zeno's dichotomy paradox can be observed in action, it is construction. It seems that construction projects tend to slow down as they approach completion.  So it is with our bathroom project.  During the first four weeks, the bathroom was the center of a whirlwind of activity and the site of significant progress.  During the last two weeks, however, progress can only be discerned through time-lapse photography.  As a fan of sailing races, I am used to slow races, but this even tries my patience.

From the last blog entry to today, the only observable progress was that the bathroom was primed and painted.  So we went from floated concrete walls to Blue floated concrete walls.

And today, after a week of inactivity, the crew started reassembling the bathroom.  The first sign of progress was that the zippered isolation cover on the door was removed and bathroom is no longer considered a Level V haz-mat isolation area.

Just as vitally, the throne has been returned to its former place of honor and glory (and it even works):

The rest of the bathroom is also being slowly reassembled:

And in the full richness of time, we hope, we will have, once again, a fully functional bathroom.  Hope, as they often say, is eternal. Our timetable for this remodel, however, is a bit tighter than that.
