End of the End (Almost)

This marks the end of the "construction" photos.  The final bits of touch-up and details.

Here's a first and only look at the windows above the mirror.  Simply a good opportunity to touch up some trim that was in marginal shape.

A final look at that backsplash area that had some challenges, solved by artistic sheetrock mud, texturing and paint.  You'd never know.

Standing in the tub (something I don't often do,) this shows a variety of details:  caulking around backsplash, trim tile on tub against cabinet, accent tiles around tub deck and a placed, sealed and plumbed sink.

I'll leave you with a tease for the rest of the cabinets.  The drawers are in, but the doors are next on the agenda.  This is a great shot of an audible we had to call midway through.  Notice the new cabinet/sink on the right: no vertical piece.  Existing cabinet on the left: yes vertical piece.  In the nine plus years since our home was built, they changed the cabinet style.  Sure, same manufacturer since we were able to contact the developer and ask for some information.  But a different style.

Solution: new doors on each side so they match.  Previously, the left side (originally, the only cabinet) had doors that came together with about a 1/2 inch space.  No problem, since there is the vertical piece.  The doors on the new cabinet close up tight to one another, since there is no vertical piece.  The new doors on the old cabinet now close like the new ones on the right.  No one knows except us (and you of course!), unless both sets of doors are opened simultaneously.

If you're tired of the left/right/left/right description above, I apologize for the tennis match play by play. 

The last posts coming next will finish out this project with a final, "pre-shower door" view and then a tour of our new master bathroom.
