title: All Closed In!

So there was definitely a loll in our bathroom renovation the past couple of weeks. A larger hiccup was when we went to test our shower faucet and the hot water/pressure wasn't working. Long story short, after 4 calls to Home Depot and 2 shipments of materials sent to us in a week, the shit still didn't work so we ended up modifying the piece that was wrong ourselves. Essentially we lost 6 days of progress from this snafu.

For most of you that know David and me we are very cheap consumers, but major lesson learned was when doing a major renovation the cheapest items are most likely not the best decisions. Or, if we want to go the cheap route we need to read reviews of the product prior to purchasing.

After managing all that, we hit it hard and got quite a bit accomplished:
-All copper plumbing finished (except the valve for the toilet after drywall and paneling are installed)
-Vent stack modified (PVC was proud of the studs)
-Cement board on floor installed
-Plastic installed in shower
-Cement board installed in shower
-All the drywall installed (except the outside loft wall)
-Put on first round of mud on seams

First things first, the pictures below are the reality our our work space. In pictures, I'll clear all the clutter away so the progress and work can actually be seen, but in reality we're messy workers. Recently though with certain stages being wrapped up I've been able to clear out quite a bit of materials we don't need anymore. Yah buddy!!
