Well I was supposed to take last friday off to paint/work on the house but Alex got sick Thursday night and had to stay home friday so I worked while she watched Thomas on TV most of the day (not the WHOLE day, although she did that most of the morning) 🙂

Anyhow, so the weekend came and we made some progress on the bathroom, Ryan got the last small pieces of cement board cut and installed around the window in the shower.  We caulked all the joints in the shower, we got the first coat of spackle/tape on the ceiling and walls and I did a little painting (touchups at the peak and the half moon windows).

The peak is finished!!!

I took today off of work (mostly) since I missed last friday.  I got another coat of spackle on the bathroom walls/ceiling and then got some paint on the outside of the porch soffit/posts.  I didn’t get very far on the porch, I had to caulk most of the posts on the outside first which slowed me down.

The part I finished

The halfmoon window I got painted was re-made by our neighbor.  He stripped down all the wood, put it back together and cut new (re-used from other windows) glass, then glazed and primed it.  He’s working on the last half moon window now, the front one I just kept installed and did a quick fixup job in place.  This one he did came out MUCH nicer!

Half moon window, painted and ready to go back in the attic!!!

This weekend we hope to get the shower water proofed (red-gard), and the walls/ceiling finished (spackling/sanding).  The following weekend hopefully we can tile then.  Let’s see how that plan goes.
