/sigh

There is never such a thing as a simple or quick project when it involves plumbing, knocking down drywall and installing drywall.

After going well over budget, extremely well over the planned time, it is still a non-functional bathroom. The plumber comes tomorrow to install the new valves for the shower and to add cut-off valves for the bath/shower (have to love older homes that somehow thought that cut-off valves were an option of excess.

I’ve lost track of the number of extra trips to Home Depot, Lowe’s and the Ace down the street.

For the first time in my relationship/marriage the wife actually made me shave. I wasn’t bothering while working, and had a playoff-beard thing going where I wasn’t going to bother shaving until we had a working bathroom/shower.  She didn’t like it and observed that it wasn’t exactly speeding up the process.

Needless to say I don’t even know what I have missed since Tuesday.
