Week ending 8/31/12

On Sunday, we went to see some family who just moved into the area.  We got to celebrate one nephew's birthday and meet the other one for the first time.

The tub still isn't in, which is fine because they want it picked up fast and my contractor is on vacation.  It means we probably won't start the project until the week of the 10th though.  We had all (us and the contractor) hoped to start on Tue 9/4.

On Wednesday, we started another project on the short list.  We still have holes in the walls all over the house from the phone and internet wiring that we did when the walls were open.  We just never got to finish the project and cover all the holes with plates and outlets.  We did an inventory of all the supplies we'll need - plate covers, screws, internet jacks, etc.  We'll have to compare that to what we have on hand, go out and buy what we need and then install it all.

I also got a quote on a custom grab bar which I can order once the tub deck height is final.  It's from a company that actually makes grab bars, so it will be nice to have something heavy duty and made for this purpose.
