Our Summer of Disrepair

  In May we decided that we would finish up updating our last two bathrooms in the house hoping that it would take six weeks.  They got finished up technically yesterday doing the last few finishes.  They were more or less done two weeks ago really.  The basement bathroom has been done for over a month.  I'm just happy that the upstairs hall bathroom was done enough for when we started potty training Emery.  We're really glad that they are done now.  We've pretty much updated everything in our house now that would meaningfully impact our daily life.  It feels good to be done.
  Unfortunately in May our dishwasher decided to stop working.  The most expensive part was broken because a piece of glass had gotten into it and done all sorts of damage.  Of course this part was back
ordered, and it took more than a month to get it.  Then when it did come and they were trying to install it they discovered another part was damaged, so we got to wait another week and a half for that part to come in.  Now we finally have a working dishwasher again.  It was so long that we bought a counter top dishwasher that we hooked up to the wet bar in the basement.  Also the weekend we went to Mount Rainier we came back to a broken air conditioner.  Fortunately that was fixed in less than a week.  I'm looking forward to not having anything being remodeled or broken in my house for a long while.



The upstairs bathtub and surround.

We added some extra cabinetry and I love our new tile floor.  Now all the vinyl is gone from the house.

In the basement bathroom we took out the bathtub and just made it a stand up shower.

This is what a counter top dishwasher looks like.  It's like half a dishwasher, that sits on your counter.  I ran it twice a day, but it was way better than nothing.
