Weekend Review

It's almost 9 pm on a Sunday. Normally I'd prally be in bed watching something dozing off...well tonight I'm trying to hold off a while and stay up later to help me not get up so early. Why you ask? Well I have swimming class tomorrow at 6 so I'll start lifting at like 4:30, which means I shouldn't try to get to work earlier than like 7:30 or so...normal people and the old me would think no prob or that that time may sound really early, but when I go to bed at 9 I tend to get up at like 5 and just go to work at like 6 or 6:30. Just trying to adjust my timing for training, that's all. Anyways...I thought I'd post so pics of the lower bathroom remodel with an update of where we stand and a weekend review.
Friday night Rosie was gonna stop after he picked up his boat but since he was picking it up from so far out of town and being a Friday we both thought lets wait til morning to deal w/ the plumbin. Tori and I went out to dinner which felt like it's been a while. Good food and good people made the dinning experience very pleasurable. Home early as I had swimming early the next morning.
Saturday Morning Rise and Shine and the crack of dawn...actually earlier cause I kept thinking that I didn't want to be late to the swim training class which was at NHS from 7-9 am. Stopped at work on the way in and made it there w/ 5 min to spare. About 50-65 percent of the class showed up....some were late....I won't name names for B's sake but it was all good.
We went over all techniques for the first hour then did laps for the last hour. Eric and I were 2 of the last 4 in the pool w/ the coaches....Go Us!


After that came home to meet w/ Rosie about some of the plumbing things that I'll need done. The room looked like this when he came over. He sized it up after hearing me for a couple of min and said that since I'm this far I should remove the rest to replace the old stuff w/ new...common sense says why. I agree'd and he left. I then proceeded to get motivated after lunch and commenced demo. During demo Tori decided to take a bath and I found out that the upstairs bathtub, that I installed 1.5 years ago has a nice new crack. Great. Came to accept that I'd patch til lower was done and remove the upper later, but after googling and talking w/ the pro he said that there are pros that can take care of this issue. Thank God. So here's how the room looked when he left on Saturday.

Couple of hours and a shit load of dust later the old 2 layers and 1" thick drywall was gone. We had our last couples bowling league Sat night....beers were tasting might good after this loooong day.

Here's how things look now.........................................The pocket door frame kit is leaning against the wall...I was eyeballin where it was to go and how it was gonna look. I you look close you can see the new pvc drain line for the upstairs tube...the ol CI shit was nasty and the pipe was about 1/2 way shut from 45 years of shower yum yums going down the drain....yeah...pretty gross.

Here's another shot...new p trap drain line and a temp PEX line so I can continue framing....which I didn't do yet...I think Tuesday I'll finally throw up some boards.
Mess and Dust everywhere...Tori's pet peeve bout remodeling...she keeps asking if I'm done yet?!
Helpers...notice Mr. Sneaky coming thru the plastic....they'll be happy when it's all done too.
And this guy's been helping here too....for Rent. No one gets a free ride round dee's parts that's for sure...His name is Simon and we're dog sitting cause his family couldn't take him to Naples, FL....they don't like wiener dogs down there I guess.
No SMBRide this wkend but the forecast is calling for some pretty sweet sunshine to come our way this week and I may skip out on Spinnin' Class on Wednesday to do my first Wednesday night fast group ride....if you get dropped you're on your own...sounds fun.

There...that burnt up a half an hour and was quite productive.

Rosie's coming back tomorrow and I have swimming and weights...
