This weekend we've started to replace Bathroom #1 (of 3 which need replacing). It's the bathroom downstairs which is the least essential of the 3 for family use, but given that G has never fitted a bathroom before it makes sense to 'practice' on the least important one. Also we're due to get some visitors shortly and the guest room is downstairs so visitors will at least be able to use something half decent!
G managed to rip out what was previously there in about 45 minutes. He then had to rip out half of the drywall (which has to be replaced with some kind of waterproof board that you tile over) and the nasty lino floor that had obviously been down for several hundred years. We've chosen some tiles and hopefully work can commence on the rebuild shortly!
On Friday night there was a fierce storm which blew trees down and closed the 520 bridge over Lake Washington. Gareth was out playing poker of all things, and it was quite eery to listen to the wind howling around outside by myself. Went out for dinner last night with some friends which has broken up the weekend quite nicely, we went for some rather splendid Thai food at a top restaurant in Bellevue.
Harry is a little better so I'm hoping to get back to the gym tomorrow! Sickness has prevented me going for the last couple of weeks and I am desperate to start again.
