It rained all day which made me sleepy. Earlier when we replaced the shower curtain with a glass door at my friend's old house, he gave me back the curved double curtain rod, which I put down in my workshop. Last night he complained about the shower curtain on his current shower and I mentioned I still had the curved rod down in the workshop and I could bring it over. He also asked me to snag a ceiling fan box from the hardware store, which I did. My brother saw a Dobby the House Elf toy on clearance for $1 and it looks a lot like friend's ex (the mother of the 4-yr-old). So we got it to give to the kid in case he missed his Mom (spoiler alert, he doesn't miss her). Friend and his wife were laughing about it. Kid was clueless, but he took the toy happily.
We helped my friend put up the curved shower curtain rod. Also found out one of our friends who works at Walmart is responsible for them getting the Japanese mayonnaise that my brother loves so much so we thanked him.
Friend's wife is much happier in the new house. She was showing us the seed packets she bought with instructions on how to care for them and some new plant pots she got and talked a little about her plans for a garden. Her next door neighbors apparently know her from work and were happy to see she moved close by. So they already have a good support network started.
The little girl (I think she's 12 now but might have turned 13) holes up in her room to avoid the 4-yr-old because he won't leave her alone. She's so happy to have her own bathroom and more space. There was a built-in desk for her so she's been able to do crafts. One of the bedrooms is now a sewing room for friend's wife.
We've been discussing plans for a coffee bar next to the fridge. It's not a lot of space in the kitchen but it has a better layout.
I'm so happy for them that they have their own place and that there is enough land for gardening and getting chickens for eggs.

Only -33 Degrees with the Wind this morning... That's okay, I guess I can't Mow the Law, that's Tragic...
0 Degrees will be back soon, which is go outside without a Sweatshirt weather, and Monday is supposed to be in the 30's, so Flip Flops and Shorts...

Hello, I hope your project is going well.
I built a bathroom recently and I'm very interested in seeing how your build goes.
The door to the bathroom seems to be a problem in the design. It doesn't look like it will open all the way before hitting the vanity but there are a couple options to fix that.
1) Push the shower up 4" and install a pocket door. The extra 4" gives you room for the shower plumbing.
2) Or, the simplest, is to install a barn door.
Also, I'm guessing there will be a glass panel at the end of the shower between the toilet and the shower. Because of that, I would assume you're thinking of glass on the long side too. Will it be sliding glass door or swing out? We considered both these options for our 34x48 shower.
In our old house, I built a bigger shower and had solid pieces of Corian installed.
In that shower, we had enough room for a glass door that swung inward.
However, on our new 34x48 shower, I don't think there is enough room to swing inward, and I don't want it swinging outward because of water on the floor. That leaves a slider but with only 48", you get an opening of around 20" which means turning sideways to get in and out.
We opted for a curtain for now and it works fine.
BTW, the tile, thinset, shower pan, and grout for this shower was $514.00. I also had to buy cementboard. It was the cheapest option I found and I like tile.
Good luck with your build!

I don't know what to say! That's too cold!
Only about -9 now. The Cat ran outside, so I had to get her and I didn't notice any cold really.

I’d like to learn more about, “Thunder-Mug ice pick!”
The other night when I couldn't sleep, I stumbled on a show called "Towing Wars".
Really? Drama about towing cars? Just grab the thing and go already!
My dream is an appliance with no electronics- just old fashioned relays and mechanical timers. A person could fix those things.
Well, SP alluded to the necessity of fetching his feline, butt however, had he elected to, in the interest of domesticated pet behavior, segwayed a moment, from his lintle enumerated pizza dough, and instructed his, obviously lonely feline in icepickerie, which would have, possibly, redirected that feline to not venture further than his front porch sequestered thunder mug, thereby shortening his cumbersome quest, to retrieve, said feline.
While being a person of few words, I've found that there are obligated situations, which demand expansion.

There is a show called "Hardcore Pawn" that is shot not far from my house. They actually pay people to go in there and act all evil, scream & yell and stuff. In real life, if one acts up in that store or in any pawn shop in Detroit, the person gets ejected instantly. Really instantly.
And, they tried to pay a guy I know to be in an episode so it would have more white customers showing in the background. (Ain't a lot of white folk going in that store.)
WOW. I don't know how that could survive, especially because TT drivers won't even watch it!
I miss my Festiva and Metro. I worked on those a lot by myself.
Well, that sucks it was cancelled and I had never heard of it. HAHA... I don't get why they would have people yelling, and I agree if people do that anywhere they get 86'd.
I wish they would bring back the Metro... I'll take 55 MPG.
