Who has to poop? This guy!

The floor is done! The new toilet is in! And for what feels like the 25th night in a row I'm posting about the bathroom at 2:00 in the morning. Kathy voted for white grout but the election went to tinted. Biscuit, actually. It matches the tile very well. I don't know if you can tell in the pictures.

Here's the dumper. It's made by Jacuzzi, so you could probably use it to work out any sore muscles if you want to climb in. It looks pretty good and the tank fits in just under the top trim on the wainscoting.


The floor is set and grouted. Tomorrow morning I'll work on getting the haze off of the tile. I have to wait for the grout to dry more first, so I'm going to bed!


Next the vanity can go in. That should only take about 30 minutes, but I'll probably find a way to stretch that out to 2 hours. I took a risk tonight and set the toilet and wax ring on, tightened it up, grouted around the base and then put the tank on and hooked it up to water. Luckily it didn't leak a drop so I didn't waste a bunch of time there. I start taking shortcuts after midnight. I do have one thing left to do on the toilet, and that is trim the floor bolts so the caps will fit on. I'll probably leave that for after the trip north.

UPDATE: Okay, so instead of going to bed I decided to slide in the vanity just to see how it's going to look. TOTALLY SWEET. It's about half the size of the old one, so it's ind of a compromise between the regular vanity and the pedestal sink that Melissa wanted. The plumbing was too ugly for a pedestal, but this sink is so much smaller it allows a lot more floorspace than the old one. Even though this has been a huge pain, I'm glad I did it since it's turning out really nice.

You can see on the far wall where the trim ends... That is where the old sink and vanity used to come out to.

Yes, that is the old toilet in the tub. I haven't dragged it out to the garage yet to await special pickup day. I was letting every last drop drain out of it first! I hate to say it, but now that everything else looks so good in there, I think the tub will have to be done pretty soon.
