Marie and I finally finished the upstairs bathroom, installing the toilet, bath, sinks and shower, lights and mirrors. The plumbing was tricky but we managed to persevere and have no leaks.. yet. Drilling holes in the porcelain tile for the cabinets, sinks, towel holders, shower frames for the glass doors, etc was a challenge and only diamond tipped bits would do the job. I ordered a few different sizes from a company in the US at a much more reasonable price than I could ever have got here and with patience, gentle pressure and lots of water managed to not break any tiles. The cabinet with the two sinks and marble top is heavy and we secured it to the wall with 4 inch bolts and two metal brackets. All the lights are in, one over the bath, four over the sinks, and two spots above the toilet and shower area. With the open concept and the skylight there really is no need to turn on the lights except after dark. Marie picked out the towels and mats and all the knick knacks so it has her touch throughout. Now we are working on the bedroom and hope to have it done by Christmas! It will be a nice present for us both. Meantime enjoy the color of fall - we are!
