Bathroom Construction – Part 4
Well, I’m over the hump. I now feel as if I’m getting closer to the end, and it feels much better now. I have finished all the painting (except for the trim), and plan to install the tub surround wall tomorrow evening. I still have a lot to do, but the bathroom actually looks like…
