Sunday, March 15...Extreme Home Makeover!

Well, actually, it's just a bathroom makeover but it is extremely messy, especially with all of the rain we had over the weekend! Greg got started early Saturday morning taking the existing door off the hinges along with the door frame and then when Paul arrived, they removed the old sink with the cabinet base and then Paul reinforced the wall for the new sink and cut the doorway wider to get ready for the new 36" inch door. Paul also had to move the light switch in the wall, and cut and lay some additional floor tile where the sink cabinet was before, so good thing he is a "jack of all trades!" He had to use the garage for all of the dirty work since the weather was so bad outside. When they finally called it a night, this is what the bathroom looked like!! Phase II will happen on Tuesday; Paul will come back and install the door jam and hang the new door, as well as grout the tile that he laid. Phase III, which will be the installation of the new ADA approved lavatory, will occur when it arrives at Klare Plumbing; they had to ship it from Austin.

While Greg & Paul were working hard on bathroom, Dad was busy entertaining all of his guests! Terri, Jennifer and Emily came in with Paul; Karen Bradford, with Klare Plumbing, and her son, Derek, came to visit, as well as Mom's brother, David. Of course, I was there, and Grandma too, so we had a houseful! Dad put on quite a show for everyone; he walked both along the kitchen counter and with his cane. Mom brought out the camera as everyone stood around cheering and rooting Dad on! Brady had a visitor too ... Molly, Emily's dog. They got along great; Brady didn't even mind her watching him eat because he knew she couldn't reach his bowl!!
