The vanity is in!!!!

Yesterday was a great day inside, not so great out.  We finished and installed the Douglas Fir vanity for the powder room after a small length glitch we discovered the day before!  It looks great.  The doors still need to be made, but that will come with time.  Now for the plumber to come and hook up the sink.

Outside I discovered the topsoil that was supposed to be 4" deep is all of one in many places and that it is not the compost rich stuff we asked for.......  Big sigh, unhappiness and then time to pick up the rake and get to work fixing it.  I wasn't feeling up to the job (Bill's back is not doing so well so he was out of commission), but the time outside was good for me, so.......  Listening to the book The Crazy Ladies of Pearl Street - a semi-autobiographical book by Trevanian - helped pass the time.  Great read if you are looking for a book.

More outdoor good news - the grass seed started to sprout and peek its' tips up through the soil!  Maybe we'll have some after all!

The powder room as it has been operating as a water closet......

Bill placing the base of the vanity.... getting closer!

Yay!  It fits!  The vanity body just waiting for the top. We designed it, Bill built it and I
finished it.  It was made from a combination of Doug Fir recycled from the house
and a new board  - finished with ZAR!

And the top is in place!  Yahoo! The big opening is
waiting for doors, but......  that will come with time.

And the IKEA sink fits, just as it should.  Now we need
the plumber to come connect it, a mirror over the sink
 and some art work on that wall over the toilet!  Almost
ready for a party!
