Today is Sunday. Much of Friday was spent at Home Depot. We went on a spending spree purchasing among other things: 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 (treated and untreated), Trex, plumbing supplies, wainscot, and screws for concrete and wood. We must have been at the store for five hours. Fortunately, the store is not too far away. Last trip for the weekend was made Saturday evening at 9:15.Decision-making is still a complex issue, with things changing constantly in both the Men's room and the front office. However, every time this occurs we come up with improvements over our previous ideas -- sometimes these are simple things we just never thought of before, like the wainscoting to conceal pipes and wires in the front room, which grew from the suggestion for an extra-large baseboard.
The entry platform into the front room is now completed and all of the wainscot supports are in place. Mid-Saturday we cut into the water pipes and installed a new valve and a cap; we also took out the old mixer valve from the shower room. Another ball vavle needs to be installed so that this line can be used for the new sinks on that side of the room. By mid-afternoon we began laying the new tiles in the bathroom.
These tiles had been purchased at 7:30 in the morning. Ryan, a member of the congregation, laid the tile in the afternoon and in the evening after supper. By the time he stopped about 3/4 of the floor had been done. Both rooms are now really beginning to take shape.
