Sorry for the absence. I'm back and will try to stay more on top of things.
Anyway....the walls in the bathroom are up! There was a wall raising party two weekends ago and it was a dusty, glorious sight. Two of my friends came over and cut the drywall and cement board to perfection while I screwed in screws. About 4 hours later, the walls were up and they looked smokin' good! We (we meaning my friend Nick (red hat)) and I didn't get to taping and mudding until later in the week, but as of this very moment, layer 3 of mud has been sanded (courtesy of Jeff) and just some minor tweaks have to be done behind the toilet where a lot of little cuts had to happen in order to go around the water valve thing. Other than that, they should be ready for one more once-over with a sanding block, a good ol' fashioned wipe down and all set for some primer!
After the walls are premiered, my friend Nick will come back and spray the ceiling. I believe the plan is to do what he calls "orange peel" to the ceiling. It will have a slight texture to hide all of the flaws that are currently hanging out up there.
Here are Nick & Bill loving me taking their picture. Bill is doing some serious re-wiring of one of my light fixtures...
Not to worry...there will be a cut made for the window...
Nick hanging the cement board in the shower...
Me gettin' my mud face on a couple days later...
Gettin' in serious mud mode...
The pretty (almost) final product after layer 3 of mud was sanded.
Ignore the hole in the wall where the radio is sitting. My new/old medicine cabinet will eventually go back into that spot.
She's starting to kind of look like a bathroom again, isn't she?
