My posting as of late has been spotty as I am working on the New Temporary Workshop at the casa, and am up to my neck in the Master Bath Project for my client.
Currently on the MBP, the walls are down, decisions are being made on stuff to go places. There have been a few surprises like the ceramic tile being laid directly over sheet linoleum, (this required three scrapings, 1 for the tile, 2 for the thinset and linoleum, and a final to get the glue and cutback adhesive off the floor.) I love the Makita Electric jackhammer!
The Great Foam being used as a spacer for the supply valves, the party wall and hidden cleanout.
The bath tub which has been a it stays, it goes, …
In any case the experience has been pleasant as the client is amenable to ideas as well as having no problem pitching in or picking up materials.
But what makes a client great is, this morning, after meeting with the plumber, I told her I had to go home and dry in my roof, as it was beginning to rain. You never, never, ever leave OSB aka chipboard exposed to water, unless your pain threshold and dumb index is in outer space.
She followed me home and dug right in, from trimming flashing to rolling paper, nailing it off, and doing all these things while it was sprinkling and the wind was blowing. She is not the sort of person that normally uses ladders. She braved the elements and also was on the roof with me. Great Client!!
Saved the roof, she did.
In other news I got the windows in.
