About to start getting ready to set up the process of beginning to commence thinking about texturing the ceiling. I’m sure of it.

I had to find an electric avenue from fan location to switch box location with minimal wall damage. Success! I’ll turn this single gang box into a double.

Ceiling is de-popcorned and sanded. Now to install wiring for ceiling fan and wall TV before I patch and texture ceiling.

A couple of exploratory holes, a practice scrape, floor paper, and lots of janky diy cloths and sheets… all to prep for the ceiling work. Looks odd, but cleanup will be significantly easier.

Major achievement unlocked! The wall tile is installed, included my custom niche and shower window. Whew! Next steps are grout, install vanity, toilet, shower door, light fixture, and towel racks. Progress!

I’m too slow to be a professional, but my #craftmanship seems solid. A long way to go still but the empty troughs waiting for grout are oh so satisfying to gaze into.

Support structure and leveling start for wall tile is in! One can never have too many levels, including fricken laser ones. Also, floor grout came out pretty nice.

p.s. Did you see and hear that I knocked over the laser level? Good thing I was done.

Dry fitted the floor tile today. Just in time for Mother’s Day when I will abandon my normal #diy work and #fete the mother of my children.

A reenactment of The Shining? No, just first coat of waterproofing for shower walls. Come play with us, Danny!

Sometimes, it seems like I know what I’m doing. All ready to spray texture on ceilings and the new bedroom wall and wall fixes.

A milestone in the bathroom/bedroom remodel… new wall is up (used to be one room with wheelchair accessible shower), walls are taped, concrete backer board up and taped. Next is texturing ceilings and new walls (and wall repairs).

I made these #shrekel cubes for work because our unit of measure for the movie is… different. So, I left a surprise for some future human (or ogre?) who decides to open this wall. Will that happen this century?

Concrete backer board on first wall. I’ll take my victories – no matter how small – whenever I can get them.
