Finishing the bathroom

February 1-10th, 2013:  There are few things less enjoyable than painting a bathroom.  At first, I thought it would be easier - less walls, but then I realized there are fixtures, toilets, mirrors and stuff that you have to get around.  Check out our earlier post: http://sharingsheridan.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-wallpaper-party-goes-disco.html.  When Bailey was in town, she offered to sand while Talla and I went to the store.  We came back about an hour and a half later to see her still sanding.   I painted two coats of mold preventing (expensive) primer.  then I finished the job with two coats of premium egg shell textured paint.

After it was all finished, we had to remove the toilet to get that portion de-allpapered and painted.  I did all of the plumbing work myself, but my dad helped to provide some valuable guidance.  When I asked him if he had ever replaced a johnny seal before, or if he had ever moved a toilet, he replied: "No... but I have seen the plumber do it a few times."  I shut off the water to the house, mopped up the toilet water with some of Talla's new white Turkish bath towels (very absorbant!), and lifted it to the shower.  Then I scraped the 30 year old wax ring from the toilet base so that we could start painting.
