A new bathroom part V....progress!!!

Almost done!! I got a lot done in the past week. Got the room painted and on Saturday (my birthday by the way) Gene and I put in the toilet. It actually went smooth. The first thing we did without a hitch...knock on wood. After we got that in we went to my in-laws for dinner with her family.

On Sunday I put the vanity and sink in. Not so smooth this time. Since the walls are not square, I could not put the sink on the vanity the right way. The vanity sits against the walls back and side fine but the sink does not. It sits away from the wall 3/4 of the way around so I have to come up with a way to shim it or build up between the wall and the sink.

If you look at at the back of the sink you can see a piece of wood I have there for now....until I come up with a better plan.













The drain is also leaking. I need to go to Home Depot and figure out a way to fix it. The pipe out of the wall is 1 1/2" inside diameter and the pipes on the sink are 1 1/2" inside diameter. So I have a cup under the sink, again for now....

All that is left, aside from noted problems above, are some last minute touch ups and a new light and exhaust fan- which I am most likely going to get an electrician to do. My house has aluminum wiring and I do not want to fool around with that and we also have other electrical work to be done.
