08/23/09 - Albuquerque, NM. We've made good progress on the master b.room. The grouting is 99.9% complete (you can't see the few spots left to be done). The
"throne" has been installed; however, it is not "fully functional". The Lowe's employee asnsured us that "all my toilets have every part needed for install"; this was even after Kevin asked, "Does it also have the connecting hose (a.k.a. the supply hose)?". Well, we get it home and find that it does NOT have everything needed for install...the supply hose is separate. It was a nice sales pitch, but not fully accurate. We'll pick up the hose soon and complete the installation. After we finish the toilet install; we have to seal it at the base and a few minor spots to grout. We can then call the master bathroom project finished for now (we'll return to this room, that we are both sick of at this point in the future to replace the shower). The stairs will be our next project. One other, very important part of this project is to ensure that our baby girl, Poka Dot, has a nice place to sleep. She got accustomed to sleeping on a blanket under the sinks. With the removal of the carpets, a blanket will no longer do (she is a cold cat, even in the summer); so we added a new bed for her under there (see below). She will sleep quite comfortably there until it gets too cold, then she'll return to the heated blanket that Grandma Pat gave her.
