April 17 Bathroom and Kitchen and Cleaning OH MY!

Hello one and all! Good things are happening in the Beach House on Wheels. James has been a busy guy working on getting the bathroom ready for a sink. He worked for 2.5 hours on Friday drilling a hole in the granite counter top so the sink can be installed. The down side is, he still didn't make it through and the drill is about ready to go kaput. We purchased a new hole saw bit yesterday at Menards and are hoping that it works. Keep your fingers crossed that we can complete that project today. We still need to buy a faucet for the bathroom and I think we have decided on the one we want, just need to wait until payday. :D

In addition to the bathroom work, James has been working on the Kitchen counter. That project was a lot of hurry up and wait. He stained the counter top then had to wait for it to dry before applying another coat. After the staining was complete he had to put on the protective coating, which meant more hurry up and wait. During the waiting period he had to be very careful about the projects he worked on so that he didn't stir up any dust or debris that could possibly get into the counter top treatment. Here is a picture of the counter so far.










Friday James let me know he has secured the counter and has installed the stove and sink. Can't wait to see what it looks like!

Today we will be working on sanding and painting (again) the sanded areas. James is going to finish the hole for the sink.....we hope.....and then it will be time for a deep clean. Should be a pretty productive day. I shall return with updated pictures. See you soon!
