Bathroom Renovation - Day Thirty Seven

The tiling around the bathtub is much more complicated than it looks. There's a lip at the top of the tub to keep the water from going into the wall. But this lip would have the tile stick out a bit. So handsome talented hubby contractor - notched a piece out of every tile that goes up against the tile so the tile will be even for the wall. This notching is tremendous amount of work.
We're also talking about how we want to lay the tile out.

Bathroom Renovation - Day Thirty Six

Full day for contractor in the bathroom. Plastering, sanding and compounding the walls and ceiling. And completing the floor tile.
11 hours today. Do you think the client is paying the contractor enough money?
Now we're working on the design of the wall tile. Most wall tile is set up like a checkerboard. Our talented husband/contractor is considering more of a brick type pattern. I think it will look nice. We all have to decide how high the tile is going to go on the walls and exactly how we're going to handle the trim. Talented hubby/contractor drew it out for me on a back of an envelope.

Electrical
A weeks' worth of electrical work. In the bathroom, living room and upstairs bedroom. Repairs to the electrical system in the house. The light above the mirror above the sink was rewired and now has a switch on the wall. Ceiling wiring was also repaired. Note the white and black wall paper sticking out by the ceiling -- its what made us decide to work in the bathroom in the first place.
