Justin had this past week off work (more detailed explanation on that forthcoming) and was able to work on the small projects. But today, with the help of my Dad he was finally able to mortar down the cement board for the tile in our bathroom. This is a major milestone considering the amount of groundwork that had to be laid to get to this point. A couple weekends ago Justin's Grandfather amazingly spent a whole afternoon dedicated to filling in the giant hole left behind by the last rehabbers. It not only had to be filled in but had to be level. And it not only had to be level but all the tetris-style pieces he used had to somehow fit between and over the pipes, different layers of old flooring and subflooring. We are truly blessed that he helped us with that because it was a daunting task.
And now, finally, we have cement board down!! After that task was complete, I set out to arrange the tiles and determine our simple inset flower pattern. I'm super excited about how it's looking and can't wait to lay the tile (maybe tomorrow?)
Oh, and we ordered and recieved our new mini wall sink as well! It's adorable! We went back and forth on the style of sink we wanted but I finally won out with a more victorian inspired look. Hopefully it will compliment the rest of the condo.
Anyway, here are some progress photos from the last couple weeks including today:
