Bathroom remodel update
Remodeling a bathroom is no small project. I’m finally down to the final stretch. I feel like I’ve been in the bathroom for weeks now. This all started about 6 weeks ago as we decided to rip out all of the old yucky yellow tile from our bathroom. I wish I had had the smarts to take a before shot, but I didn’t. I took a couple of shots after we had begun the project and now you can see the final results. I still have some paint trimming and a little bit of grout work on the floor in front of the tub to do. It’s a huge relief to finally step back and see the progress. Here’s all of the things we did:
- Removed all the yellow tile from around the bath tub and around the toilet.
- Put up bead-board and trim around the toilet
- Replaced the baseboards
- Painted the walls and ceiling
- Removed a header like piece from above the shower/bath tub
- Replaced the bath tub
- Replaced the plumbing for the shower head, knob and spout
- Replaced the faucet on the sink
- Fixed the tile on the floor in front of the tub
- Re-tiled the shower/tub area
- Fixed part of the wall and floor around the tub that had water damage
- Replaced light fixture above sink
- Much more that I’m probably leaving out!

Must see site – Netvibes
Web portals seem to come and go. I’ve tried a number of them out there and none of them has ever really stuck with me. They are usually either too clunky or too slow. The newest one that I’m playing with is from Netvibes.com. This one like Google’s portal offering utilizes ajax. However, unlike Google’s (for me at least) Netvibe’s works really well and is really fast. Combining the widget idea and rss feeds you can make the ultimate portal available to you from anywhere on the net. So far I’m digging it! Head on over and give it a try, you’ll be amazed at the flexibility and usefulness of Netvibes.

Sunset
I badly want to go back and spend more time around the beaches in the Malibu area, the sunset was stunning. Here in Missouri we don’t have cool bodies of water like that. We have silly Lake Springfield, blah! :)
