Some things don’t go as planned…

Oh my, week 4 did not go as smoothly as planned. 🙂 I really thought I’d be close to being done, and just on to touch up. Unfortunately everything took so much longer than planned. Even though I might sound like I’m griping, the point is that set backs happen when remodeling and they can be successfully worked through. Just not always as quickly as hoped!

Plumbing

Oh the plumbing has been a bit of a challenge this week. It just can’t be easy can it?!? The plumbing really should have been a matter of quickly changing out the fixtures, no major changes. Famous last words, ha ha. Ok, it really wasn’t that bad, it just required 4 different trips to the hardware store! Continue reading

Been Building…

With the beautiful floor tile getting put down last week, I started worrying about my next big hurdle in the bathroom reno. I really need to get the vanity built and in place. I also need to find a counter-top for it. Being on a tight timeline, I realized I really should have had a counter-top company lined up weeks before. But alas here we are. I contacted solid surface companies for bids.  I started looking through the classifieds for maybe something useable.  Then I found an ad in the classifieds for bathroom countertops with sinks, that are made from kitchen remnants. Lucky for me, they have a quick turnaround and I should have a new counter-top next week. Woot Woot!

Building the Vanity

My new vanity is based off a unique vanity I saw in a home many years ago. It has an open lower center, great for baskets with towels. Then 4 drawers on each side. The original vanity’s top jagged in, following the shape of the inset. However I decided to just go straight a crossed and hopefully it works out.

Last Fall I bought a pallet of 18″-36″ knotty alder cutoffs from a business for $1/piece. I have been trying to use those boards wherever possible. The saying that you never have enough clamps is true, as I was trying to glue up the 4 main panels for the vanity.

If your work has you working with heavy duty nuts, bolts and equipment, then I have a couple of tools to highlight that may make your work easier. Today’s review is for Milwaukee Impact Wrench and Battery Ratchet.

I headed down to the family farm to test out these tools. Big machines need big tools. The farm grows alfalfa and grain (wheat and/or barley), which require large tractors and implements to prep, plant and harvest! If you’ve ever been around farming, then you also know that the equipment is always needing fixing.
