home is where the couch is

I'm a list girl. I have lists all over the house. Grocery lists, lists for things I have to do that day, that week, that month, supper lists...So of course, I have a list for the work we're doing in the back addition this month. I am determined to at least have a bathroom by the new year. Or at least a toilet.

My lists can be adjusted, I'm not so anal that they are written in stone. Which is a good thing because we're already a little behind. We were supposed to be mudding all the drywall screw holes and papering all the edges and corners this week. We were also supposed to be finishing putting up the drywall, but we ran out of drywall sheets. So instead of doing what was on the list, I was emailing and calling around for a truck or trailer large enough to put drywall into. Thank goodness for friends that we haven't seen in months that don't mind us mooching their truck.

I did get most of the bathroom door primed and painted. I'm pretty happy with it - it looks great and you can't tell where the door holes were unless you're looking really hard. Hopefully this week I'll be able to get the coats painted...it is on the list of things to do.

I did put in all the Schlutter Kerdi and I am pretty stinkin' proud of myself. If you don't know what it is - it's messy and time consuming, that's what it is. It's basically an orange membrane that you mortar onto your shower walls, floor, curb...anywhere water will hit. If you have a leak in between your tiles, the kerdi membrane will keep the water in and the water will just flow down to your drain, because you've kerdied the crap out of everything. I think it took me 8 hours give or take. I could kind of stand up straight when I was done...

We also put down the in floor heating wires. Well, the Man did that while I went out with the girls. I didn't thoroughly research everything like I usually do and didn't realize that I needed to prime the floor before we put self leveling compound down so that the compound can meld to the floor, gah, so the heating cables were down when I rolled on the primer. I hope that's okay, I don't want to invest all this work just so my tiles can crack!
