After taking last weekend off, we arrived at Zelda late Thursday night ready for a three (3) day weekend. First order of business, Brent needed to tile the master bathroom shower and Lynn was to continue to work the STAIRS. Jennifer and Jessica made the trip down and so did Cookie.
We started Friday morning off with a trip to Lowes and Home Depot for supplies. We purchase the tile and some additional mortar and a few other paint supplies. After a great lunch at Loves's Fish Box in Kings Mountain, NC, Brent started the tile while Lynn and the girls attacked the dreaded STAIRS. Brent first installed a ledger board off the bottom on the shower floor to have a level surface to start tiling. He was able to get about 50% of the work completed on Friday by working to about 9:00 pm.
Lynn and girls wrestled with the painting of the stairs and were nearly complete on Friday evening. The handrail was repainted many times as everyone kept grabbing it as ascending and descending the stairs. Brent then finished the shower on Saturday with the exception of the bottom row, which was completed on Sunday. We only now will need to finish around the tub and the master bathroom will be completed.
The stairs were painted again on Saturday and then the remaining unpainted interior doors and facings were attacked. Next weekend we will clean the mortar from between the tiles and start grouting while the girls will continue to finish painting the interior.
Ready for the grout.
Cookie is ready for a shower.
The attack on the STAIRS
What a transformation.
Another view of the stairs.
Almost finished but need to touch-up the spindles.
