Long day, so not much energy to work on the house..but I did make a decision about the bathroom lights.

After moving the sink and the mirror to the left and taking a photo holding the sconces in place on each side of the mirror so I could see what it looked like, I decided that was really the only way it would make sense.

So I made another hole in the wall and ran some wires through. The actual lamp wires are still on the outside because I need to run them through the wall tiles when I put them on…which I can’t do until I fix one of the lamps, since I managed to pull out one of the wires over the past couple days…

My trusty work companion was not very responsive to my need for him to fetch a soldering iron (not that I own one)…

…so instead I trimmed the ceiling so it fits now. I need to finish painting the back corner and it’ll need some wood putty to fill the gaps because, like in all old houses, the room is no longer completely square.

As I said, not much work done, but here is this side of the house for now…when I get my 9V power strip, I’ll be able to put more than one light on at a time.

More time tomorrow, hopefully.

Good night.

Today I worked more on the bathroom walls. Printed out the white tiles, one more dado and the top trim.

Taped some of the tiles in temporarily to see how high I wanted them to be.

Then I painted the ceiling and the tops of the walls. The ceiling is not cut to the correct size yet, as you can see…

But it gives a pretty good idea of what it will look like. Here it is with the tiles clipped on with a clothes pin to see how it will work.

I have second sconce to put in, but I can’t seem to decide if it should go on the other side of the mirror (which is just taped on temporarily here and thus skewed), in which case it would be behind the door when it opened, or if it should go on the right-hand wall.

On the other hand, I’m thinking of making a Victorian shower attachment for the tub, like the one in this photo…in which case the lamp doesn’t belong there.

Decisions, decisions…still haven’t figured what to make that shower out of, either, so the people of the house will have to content themselves with baths for now…

Next I went back to the linen closet and, after making a hole for the lamp to run through, glued the ceiling on. I also cut out some baseboard for the closet.

I still need to figure out what kind of shelves I want on the left-hand side, and fill the shelves more fully, but I stained the baseboard and glued the lamp in…

Then I turned the light on…

Good night.

PS  Interesting things I’ve learned today: if you google “knight cider12”, this blog comes up first on the list (although I’m pretty sure I’ve never used the word ‘knight’ in this blog). But if you google “cider12”, you get my blipfoto site first and this blog doesn’t show up for several pages. Makes no sense whatsoever….

And by the way, the reason I know this is that someone apparently came to my page having typed “knight cider12” in a search engine…
