The Renovation Part Two

Our shower renovation passed the flood test, which our contractor did to assure the floor base would not leak.

He uses rubber duckies to see if they float to a particular corner, which would indicate a leak there. I thought that was cute.

After the flood test was completed he installed the floor tile.

My guy picked this out, and I really like it (we have the same taste in things like this.)

Tiling the walls will be next, and then grouting and sealing, and the shower will be done. Stay tuned for the Big reveal. :)

I like that floor tile! Very nice. Hubs and I do not have the same taste so thankfully, he leaves those things to me. I cringe at what the house would look like if I left things like that up to him. Cute duckies.

We are doing the floor tile last. If things get dropped during work I'd be afraid to damage the floor. That said, I think he's got the inset shelf left to do and the grouting before he does the floor. I might give him the day off today. He got a lot done yesterday. The grab bar will be the last thing to go in.

PS The glass guy came by to take accurate measurements. He said the price of glass has gone up in the past month. Lucky me. :(

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
