The room is now completely painted and the shelves for appliances installed above the freezer. I'm contemplating putting up one more shelf there as this room can't have enough of them. Now would be the time to do it while I'm still stubbing my toes on all the implements of construction.

The floor in the WC is tiled and ready for grout. This is my least favorite job. Mixing grout is hard work. It's a challenge to put it down without covering me and everything within a ten foot radius. Cleaning off the tile seems never-ending not to mention what it does to my hands but I know once the floor is finished I'll be happy with the choice. I keep reminding myself that I don't have enough of them to do the entire room and that Home Depot won't either. Oh, and they won't be getting any more. It's a convenient little fantasy. Carpeting the rest of the room will be easier and cleaner but in my world the look of saltillo tile can't be matched.

The panels against the wall are foam board to go on the ceiling. It's a bit outside the box but then this whole house is being done from that approach. It covers the damaged plaster giving a clean white surface with insulating properties.

Sometimes I step outside myself and watch as I shun traditional ways of doing a project. It isn't totally out of necessity but because I'm addicted to the feeling of the creative process. My approach isn't always easier as the upcoming installation of the toilet will demonstrate. It's got my mind working overtime.
