Starting to Put the Bathroom back Together

For some reason the last couple days I have been waking up early, really early. I try to get back to sleep but by 0430 I decided that more sleep is just not in the cards for me and get up.

It was raining when I got up and continued to do so most of the day. It did let up a little about the time that Stan got here but then it started raining again. It really poured for a while, but the ground is still absorbent enough that it sunk in pretty quickly.

Kathleen took off to pick out the tile and was gone until a little after 1800. She had gone to several places and brought home a few samples. As it turned out none of the samples that she brought home were what she wanted after she looked at them in the bathroom. They were all too light and she wanted something a little darker.

I had put insulation around the new window and when Stan got here he caulked around it so that it will be ready for the shower/tub surround Monday. After he finished that we started hooking up the electrical. We got most of the switches, outlets and lights put in. The only light that we did not put in was the one for over the mirror and we did not do that one because we wanted to wait until the vanity, sink and mirror were all in place.

Toni and Chucky called and wanted to bring over some dinner, Kathleen got home just a few minutes before Toni and Chucky got here. They also brought a movie to watch, I cannot remember what it was but neither Kathleen nor I cared for it very much.

Well that is about all for tonight. Here is a picture of the main light fixture; the one in the shower is just a can light with a water tight cover and not much to look at. The picture does not look all that great, maybe I will have to take one tomorrow with out the light on.
