Two years ago?? December 2013 was apparently the last time I posted about the Master bathroom. That was about the ceiling.

We’ve had a few other projects between then and now: remodeling a portion of the salon, redoing the floors in the tattoo studio, rewiring the electrical in the house, the entire barn project. The downside to doing-it-ourselves is time. Or lack of it.

The bathroom, of course, is still in progress. I missed posting about the interior walls.

And sometime between then and now I also textured the walls.

Which brings us a full year forward. Which has us again re-starting the bathroom.

Another coat of paint tomorrow. Then I install the heated floor mats and the floor tile. Getting closer… finally! Well, closer than we were. 😉

I guess it’s been a bit since I talked about the “barn” we’re building.

Over the next two weekends after the roof shingles were installed, I got the remaining sheathing installed on the barn:

And then came the air and water barrier installed over the next two weekends:

The next few weeks after that were involved with our annual pilgrimage to Florida and New Orleans.

Mid-September I build myself a workbench and started getting my tools moved from all the places I had them stored and started organizing.

We picked up the first door and installed it the next weekend.

And then this past weekend we picked up the French doors. That was a wee bit interesting getting it home. But in about 2 hours we got those installed. We also ordered the concrete fiber siding, which Lowe’s was supposed to deliver Monday morning.

Well, Monday morning came and went. And no delivery. They finally dropped off the siding around 3 PM.

I’ll get to starting installing that this coming weekend.

Previously… in November. Yes, eight months ago. Well, and a little post in February. If you’ve been following along with ANY of our projects, things take time when we’re involved.

But we got roofied! Wait…

I’m not a fan of heights. At all. So I knew there was NOOOOOOOOOO way I would be climbing on a steep angled roof to install water barriers and shingles. Unless someone was going to cough up to purchase scaffolding, and I didn’t see that happening.

This Monday, the roofers FINALLY installed the shingles. Yay! The supplies have been sitting in the yard since the week before we went on our July walkabout, but it’s pretty much rained here every day up until last week so they haven’t been able to work on it at all.

It took two guys about 5 hours to do the job. In 100°F humid weather. Yuck for them. But that is what I was paying them for.

So now we have a finished roof.

And I even got a few more pieces of sheathing installed on the east and west wall that evening when they were done.
