ugh.  Two weeks and $823 later we have a shower pan.  Thank you Nathan for holding my hand and not letting me kill anyone while this happened.  This will settle for two days and on Thursday the tiling will begin.  I am almost to the point of believing that there might be a light at the end of this tunnel.

On a side note, this is the project that Nathan is working on when he isn’t here renovating our master bathroom.

In talking to Nathan about our project I’ve discovered that renovating is not very “green”.  Most of the debris ends up in the landfill.  However, our new toilet will be ultra low flow with two flushes (you know, a light flush for one and a heavier flush for… ).  Our old toilet will go on to replace a worse toilet.  Our new bathroom and the crawl space above the basement stairs are now super insulated to prevent heat loss.  It’s not great, but it’s something.
