Still to do: the eave attic door (inside the closet), which we've changed from a hinged door with knob to a removable panel with some kind of clamps around the edge to hold it. A hinged door would lose us a couple inches of space in there, and it's already pretty tight (my shoulders touch both sides of the eave attic door frame).
No pictures today, I'll get them tomorrow. Still have a bunch of little decisions to make about the fixtures and such in the bathroom.
Tiling in process. You can see the grooved mastic where tiles are about to be laid. Notice that Ralph has mortared the joints between sections of cement board, for a better fit.
The finished door frame from the outside.
The finished wall tile for the shower enclosure.
The door frame and transom window from the inside. The notch or "reveal" around the inside frame of the transom window has been made big enough to accept a piece of glass or plexi, if and when I want to get one and put it in.
Details of the baseboard woodwork. I appreciate nice little finishing touches like this, they really make a classy room.
The bedroom closet now has its floor and interior woodwork for the clothes bar and shelving.
Details of the closet woodwork. The closet pole is still coming ... Ralph recommends an iron pipe (rather than a wooden pole) for extra strength, and it's easier for sliding hangars.
Totally gratuitous shot of the roof deck, full of stuff. It's a really nice night, pleasantly cool and clear, and I tried to enjoy the twilight up here, but all this junk is hard to ignore.
The floor tile in place (but not yet grouted). This is a new kind of mastic that dries quickly enough so that you can walk on the tile shortly after laying it. The walls have been painted here, but the woodwork has not.
The soffit in the living room has also been painted, and if that's final I will be able to start putting the living room back in place (yay!), but the camera's batteries just died, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow to see it.
Here's the door frame all nicely painted, and the fixtures in place. The floor tiles are grouted, too.
The east wall with fixtures, medicine cabinet, and light bar. The tiling in the shower enclosure has been cleaned up and is nice and shiny.
Detail of the medicine cabinet. We had some decisions to make about which way the cabinet door swings, and fine placement was constrained by the stud positions and the sloping ceiling. The ceiling fan is in place, too.
The shower valve and handheld nozzle are in place, but the vertical bar on which the nozzle mounts is not, so it's just hanging for the moment.
Detail of the roof window well. The painters gave the well a couple of coats, while they were doing the finish painting, so now it looks nice. (The installers of the roof window, years ago, didn't paint the well.)
In my bedroom, the electrical box for the wall light is in place.
Ralph put a lockset in the closet door, which I hung ten years ago, and I've been wedging shut with a typewriter all this time!
The eave attic door (inside the closet), hung and fitted with its lockset. We gave up on the removable panel idea, too hard to find latches that would work. Also the clothes hanger bar is in place, and the woodwork inside the closet is all painted.
Electrical boxes for the wall lights in the bedroom and workroom. The electrician seems to be the toughest guy to get to show up, hopefully we'll get him tomorrow.
We're still talking about options for hanging the shower curtain along that funny sloped ceiling. A conventional rod along the diagonal is probably the easiest solution, with some kind of stopper to keep the rings from sliding down. Eyebolts along the ceiling might also work, perhaps with a taut line between them to hang the curtain from. A custom fabricated bar, diagonal along the low portion and horizontal along the top, would be the slickest solution, but also the most expensive and fussiest.
