Update on remodel

Well here are some completed floor pictures along with the shelves, added lights, and wiring that was done in the last couple weeks. I have learned a valuable lesson when cleaning up the grout that when reading doesn't tell you.

It is said to wipe the floors with a damp sponge to clean up the tiles, well someone that never has done tiling before tends to use to much thus the clean up is pretty tough.

Here is a really good tip to keep from wiping to much grout from the joints and cutting the work in half. The tip is below the 2nd picture

Use a sponge to wipe the floor the first time to level the tile joints and dampen the tile. Then get a couple large towels and rub wipe the tile with them. What I found this did was get the dampness out of the tile pull the grout off and make it sand like to be vacuumed up.

I learned the hard way after wiping the tile 4 to 5 times getting no were and kept pulling grout from the joints, so I sneaked a couple the huns towels and 30 minutes latter I was done. threw the towels in the wash and hadn't heard anything from her so I assume they weren't ruined.

This is a picture of were the new bath is going with added lights for fan exhaust and more lighting. I added a plug in the top for a TV to be added installed on another date.

The lower blue box in the plywood was a switch for the wire hanging down , this is the new light, just waiting to see were it will fit in when I add the wrap around shower, but my Bro, gotta love your Brother, mentioned it was in a wet area and he would move it.

Well you guessed it I moved it she thought it was hard to get to, so I rewired it to the entrance. Had to pull new wire through the wall for all the switches, enlarge the box for the added switch, add another power source, and so on. Anybody that has wired knows what I had to do, let mejust say it wasn't easy at all.

Just a picture of her new lights and cleaned counter top with her hardware to be added this weekend. I might add this counter top is 93 inches long or 8 feet. This will help give some idea to the size of the room.

About if for this post we have received the tub or swimming pool as it is a Texas size tub and the hardwood flooring. This weekend I hope to finish up the wiring in the den and install the plumbing fixtures, and build the tub enclosure so I can tile the rest of the bathroom.

I might add I have been doing other wiring in the den and will include all that in the next post.

Merry Christmas and God Bless all,
