Plaster and the Tax Man

We made excellent progress this weekend in the bathroom. We are closer to installing a toilet...but not there yet. 

We still need to finish mudding and sanding, which seems to take forever. Our good neighbor Lou stopped by Saturday morning for a brief mudding seminar. Susan was concerned about the amount of build up she had to do on one of my walls.

I concentrated on the shower area. I had been planning on tiling all the way to the ceiling in the shower but was informed by unnamed wives that that would look stupid and it was forbidden. Therefore, I had to do some major re-work to the corner and the walls in order to make them look good for painting...or wall papering. 

Susan would prefer to wall paper, but cannot find a pattern she likes. It seems like the day of wall papering is coming to an end. There just simply is not a lot of choices out there. It is easier to create your own customized design but that is still very expensive.

Susan ran the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer race today in preparation for the Bloomsday. She was happy with her performance and is getting ready for the big race, which is two weeks away.

The only thing left to do today is finish our taxes. We've been holding out because we owe almost $900.00. That's because we made sooooooo much money painting. I guess that's a good problem to have.
