Bathroom rebuild

 Were still at Deaton Marine for I’ve taken on a contracting job to rebuild the half bath that is off from the office area. Karen Deaton wants it to be both a bathroom and have a larger storage area than she currently has.  It’s a small area only 4 x 8 feet but in regards to the amount of work that it requires a small area is almost the same as a larger one, you still have to do all the same things to each: new walls, electrical, sub floor, tile floor, paint, trim, etc. On top of that there was no room for a conventional door so I built a pocket door into the wall.

Here’s the pile of walls and junk that I ripped out.

This is the pocket door frame in.

After the walls were in the electrical need to be redone and,,,

a new tile floor installed.

Finally, the toilet, cabinet, shelf’s and trim go in and POOFF!

 We have a new bathroom/closet after 8 days of intense work. Mean while, offshore in the Atlantic, a 5 day weather window perfect for sailing straight to the Bahamas slipped by. Oh well, the things that we do in our chase for the mighty dollar. Now, it’s time to work on the Snow Goose.

We also went into New Bern for “art walk”. An evening where the art galleries stay open for your convince. Lots of great art around town and this interesting sign… not quite sure what it wants me to do. (I think they did it just to confuse the tourists).
