Progress!

There hasn't been much "visible" progress on the bathroom as we prep the walls/ceilings/plumbing for greenboard/cement backer board...until today. We completed the backer board in the shower - major victory! I'll tell you what, that cement board puts up a good fight. It does not want to be cut, certainly does not want to be hung square on the wall, and absolutely was a pain to work with. We feel pretty good now that it is up there - it very well could stand longer than the rest of the building. Ok, that may be giving us a bit too much credit but considering this is our first go at a bathroom remodel, I think we are getting along alright.

Previously, I mentioned that things take about 2x as long as we had originally thought they would - we talked again about that today, make that 3x longer :) If we can get some more walls up tomorrow it will be faaaantastic. We have some more plumbing to move, duct work to connect to the vent fan, and one outlet that is not cooperating. Add to Flick's victory list a new pot-light over the shower, a new vent fan, and some over-the-vanity lights. He's good I tell ya! Don't worry, we are still working in some normal life things like soccer games, yoga, and breakfast with the rest of the early birds at the South Walnut Cafe (well, normal for us that is; sleep in on the weekends? Not if Dozer has anything to say about it!)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!
