Hey-a! Friends. I got a project done on time! I had planned on using August to demo and redo phase 1 of our cabin bathroom and I actually did it! Normally I try and save this sort of inside project for the winter months, BUT because phase two involves a lot of tiling and I prefer to do my tiling outside (especially since we don’t have a garage) I needed to get phase done this summer so I could start phase two in the fall before the snow hit – which I’m sure will be happening before November.
