6 days and seems like it won't happen

Even though it seems like we're really behind, the contractor has assured me that we will be ready for the plumber on Tuesday afternoon. I think it may be the kind of thing where the prep and behind the scenes work takes a long time and then the actual finish (tiling, painting, etc) happen pretty fast. I mostly left the crew to work at the house by themselves today. I picked up locksets for the interior doors (new ones should be coming next week to replace the ones the door store got wrong) and I also picked up paint for the bathroom. It was hard to do because I couldn't try any swatches since there aren't any walls up yet. The rest of the day I spent packing and organizing for the move.

This is a panel we had to build in the shower. The pipes and valves carrying the water couldn't go in between the studs because there was too much in there already. Even though we "had" to do it, I really like it. I picked handles that are very modern and artistic, so having the panel will set them off and make them look more like art.


Here is a shot of the tub area. The vertical rectangle in the middle is a niche built into the wall for shampoo, soap, etc. I like the repetition of the tall, skinny rectangle in the window, niche and panel on the left.
