Bathroom Renovation: Day 7-8-9 (Installing the Tile Flooring, Vanity and Vanity Top)

It was now the electricians turn to come and put in the wiring for the Toto bidet, wall and ceiling lights and electrical outlets. 

Bill and May were very kind and patient about putting in an additional outlet we needed and switching the lights around to see if we liked the lights facing up or down.

They were still very kind and patient when I asked them to switch it to face down a couple of days later. I was afraid of dust and bugs falling in.

Later that evening, our contractor asked us to also paint the bottoms of the walls even though the vanity would be covering the area. 

Buuut... although it turned out later that we didn't have to, it was nice to know that back of the vanity would have a fresh coat of paint.

The following day, Ed returned to put in the tile flooring.

He did an awesome job of staggering the tile for a different design from what Art did in our kitchen 17 years ago. 

Art was amazed at all the new material and techniques Ed had to make the job much easier than what Art used.

Here we are back to painting in gouges or scratches on the wall.

Ed then added in the grout for the tile.

The vanity and counter top went in next.

There were different teams for tiling, electrical, plumbing and carpentry.

And amidst all this stress we got a call from the window people telling us that replacement glass had come in to replace faulty, leaking panes we'd had installed 17 years ago when we did the house renovation.

And so it went.

I really wish we hadn't put in white grout in the kitchen and upstairs bathrooms 17 years ago. Gray grout would certainly have hid the dirt better.

OK... Let's see...

Now we need the toilet, faucets and shower things to go in.

I was feeling a little calmer now.
