Here's the suction cup towel bar. It keeps falling off so I may have to use the included adhesive disks, but its very easy to put back on so it hasn't bothered me too much. Today I put up a new shelf. Cheap one from clearance at Walmart. It's not quite level but I will move it and level it when...

Thanks. I haven't posted in awhile. Whole family got Covid and my mother almost died-- not from Covid, but from a kidney stone that triggered diabetic ketoacidosis and put her in ICU for awhile. I will have to dig up the photo, but I added a suction cup towel bar for my washcloth. It keeps...

Knocked one more thing off the list: Mounted the robe hook. It was a pain because the screws stripped out (I pre-drilled but they were designed to go into drywall anchors and I was trying to put them into a stud). They got stuck almost all the way in and removing them was a pain. I accidentally...

I think it is important to consider the function in this case. Is there more than one person using the bathroom at a time? Would there need to be a 2nd sink? Resale value is another consideration. I've seen a lot of shows where people want double sinks in a bathroom. I personally like a single...

More pictures. Last pic was of the toilet paper holder (I cleaned up the floor after that-- the messed up wall painted white will be covered with wainscoting). Towel bar. Please excuse the distortion. It got all weird because I had to resize smaller so the image could be posted. I added the...

Pictures (continued). After removing tape-- its very sloppy and nowhere near perfect but I'm satisfied with it. I do need to fill in the holes from the old towel bar but that is not urgent. more pictures in next post (not sure how many can fit in one post).

Looks like Tumblr pics worked now. But I'm going to try to post some here and see how it goes. Finished caulking & painting, got shower curtain rods up, curtain up, hooks on back wall rod for backscrubbers/body scrubbers, got a suction cup bin to hold bath gloves & hide the patch job over where...

Thank you, Taylor! I'm going to see if I can post some photos to catch up now.

Got three pieces of horizontal trim up & a corner trim piece. Friend started feeling sick from the smell of the adhesive (I didn't even notice a smell from it at all but my allergies have my nose plugged up a bit). Because of how I shimmed on the side wall (due to how it tilts) I didn't have to...

It will be so nice to shower in my own bathroom and not have to go over to my friend's house for it! My friend only has one bathroom so its awkward as no one else feels comfortable going in while I'm showering. I personally don't care if anyone walks in on me but I know they would feel awkward...

Today was productive even if we only had 3 hours to work. It poured rain on my trim as I was bringing it up from the workshop to the house. My workshop is pretty far from the house. It was only sprinkling when I went down to get it but by the time I was bringing it out to the truck it was coming...

Since my last post I've drilled the pilot hole for the tub spout from the closet, "mudded" the cement board with modified thinset mortar (as per mfr instructions), installed L-bead trim along with the "mud", used a repair kit on the exposed steel on the tub, installed the surround, primed &...

I got the holes drilled. Had to go down to the workshop and find a corded drill that was over 20 years old. May even be older than that because my Matrix doesn't have a large enough hole for the shanks. I thought I got ones with 3/8" shank and that should fit, but it didn't. Old corded one...

I used the stowsen tub repair kit (designed for small chips) on the big gouge with exposed steel. First attempt was awful. I had to dremel it down and try again with a different color from the kit. Ended up having to mix two colors. They come in small syringes so I had to use a brush to spread...

I chilled the water first this time and did half the amount. I also put a trash compactor bag inside the bucket to preserve the bucket. It helped keep the mix colder and slow the setting process. I was having a bad coordination day-- dropping things, tripping, etc and my back was already...
