Bathroom Renovation: Days 18-22

When last I blogged on the bathroom renovation, Mike had the tile up on the wall with mortar and spacers and were waiting for it to dry.   It looked like this.

The next step was to grout.   When we were shopping Mike was impatient with me for taking so long to decide on a color of grout.  I was taking too long!  When all was said and done, he was grateful that I had taken my time and chosen a color very close to the color of the tile, because it hid some minor flaws.  I'm glad it all worked out :).

Mike cheering when he was finishing the last of the 

grouting.  He said it was very tedious.

Next step:  caulking....very messy.  

Mike is a hands on kind of guy.  He likes to feel

what he is doing, and the grout, silicone, cleaning, caulking

took a toll on his poor hands.  His hands are so raw, you

can't see his fingerprints on his index fingers.  

Finishing up the rest of the flooring.

Putting trim back up.  This job has
had Mike on his knees a lot! :). 

Almost done and he can't wait!  Last little touches of paint and caulk, and then paint again where he messed up a little bit. 

Are you ready for the bare bones, not decorated yet, reveal?  Here it is!!!

What do you think?   I am so happy with the results!  My husband is the best husband in the world!!  Poke a fork in him, because he is DONE with this project.   I'm thinking it will be a while before he wants to start on the kitchen :).   He has earned a well deserved rest....

In his recliner, rooting for Peyton and giving
me the "Don't ask me to do any more projects!"
look.  

Now it is my turn to start decorating!  Stay tuned for the next episode of Fixing Up Suburbia....
