Badgers beware!
Oct. 1st, 2007 08:43 amIt's been a while, so I will sum up.
Last week I was in Danbury every day for work. Customer was pretty easy to handle overall, but it was taking me an hour and a half to two hours back and forth due to the traffic on I-84. Toss in school in the evenings, and by Wednesday night I'd spent about 25 waking minutes with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kuzu_no_ha. Blech. That wrapped up on Friday, and my next customer isn't ready until 10/8.
Over the weekend, we finished hanging the drywall and started taping. Somewhere in there, we went to Lowe's twice, Home Depot once, and Walmart as well. Definitely busy, but there was yummy cake too. My lovely wife paid the bills, so we're done with that until next month. I did my reading last night for tonight's class. I still have reading left for the rest of the week.
The goal is to finish the bathroom completely this week. I think it's attainable, but it's going to mean staying on task.
Today, I hope to:
Other remaining tasks:
There is some tweaky stuff. The bolts for the ceiling fixture and the wall sconces are too long, I will either need to trim them (ugh) or replace them with shorter ones (ugh). The electrical box for the switches was mounted too far back in the wall. That's going to be a nightmare to fix. I'm ignoring it for now.
Still, all of the walls are covered now, and it's beginning to look like a finished space.

Today, I hope to:
- Finish the taping.
- Install the corner doodad.
- Install the sink.
- Finish cleaning the adhesive and drywall dust off floor.
Other remaining tasks:
- Sand all spackling.
- Prime and seal.
- Paint.
- Caulk.
- Tile floor.
- Replace toilet.
- Reinstall trim.
