So Goes the Best Laid Plans!

Well, I had planned on doing a better job of blogging but stuff happens. We have been having strong winds for the last several days with gusts over seventy miles an hour and Sunday we lost our internet service. This meant that not only did we not have internet or cable TV service but also our telephone service was out. For that reason I was not able to blog on Sunday to do my weekend wrap up.

Then yesterday we had a lot of catching up to do and last night we had our small group and by the time we got home I was too tired to do it justice so I just went to bed.

To kind of catch-up a little, the downstairs bathroom is just about complete. We just need to seal the grout, put the light over the mirror, put the light switch and outlet covers on and hang the toilet paper holder on the vanity. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like today.

This is the vanity with the sink, faucets, and mirror above.


This is of the back of the tub with the double towel bar to the right; notice the two grab bars: one to get in and out with and the other oval one to help catch someone if they slip.


This is of the front of the tub with the faucet and the shower. The faucet allows one to keep the temperature the same and turn the water pressure from off to full force. The shower has a removable wand that showers and the water from the regular shower head continues to work along with the hand held wand for rinsing off.


In this photo is the new toilet, it is a Toto just like the one upstairs only this one is even more water conservative and like the one upstairs the flush last as long as one holds the handle down, so we will need a little practice to find out how long to hold the handle down, but the one upstairs does not require much water to completely flush.

The seat is a slow closing one so that one can just let it go and it slowly closes...no more toilet seats crashing down!!!

Much improved over our old bathroom; you will have to stop by one of these days when you have nothing better to do. Yes I do remember what it was like to have several children so I know that your free time is a rare commodity!~>
