Nothing Difficult is Ever Easy*

Eric and I are trying to get his bathroom re-modeled before his parents come down to visit for Thanksgiving. We didn’t think it would take too long, but here’s what happened:

  • Went to Home Depot and Lowes and Target to buy everything
  • Took down fixtures to re-paint
  • Found out the fixtures left huge holes in the walls
  • Tape and Floated the walls
  • Painted walls with two coats
  • Put the new facet on the brand new granite counter top and sink
  • Went to Home Depot to buy new hoses for the sink
  • Went back to Home Depot to exchange the recently bought hoses and buy another size
  • Put the sink on the counter top only to find it was too big for the counter
  • Extended the counter top by using pieces from the medicine cabinet
  • This time the sink fit on the top
  • Found out the plumbing didn’t match up
  • Next Day: Went to Home Depot to buy PVC pipe
  • Went back to Home Depot to exchange recently bought pipe and buy another size
  • Cut and matched up the PVC pipe
  • Yay! It’s all done!

Whew! It’s finally finished. Our project took a lot longer than expected but it looks great. Now we just have to clean up. I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving – maybe we’ll get some rest.
