You DO realize THAT WOULD ACTUALLY WORK RIGHT?!?

It would get covered on the news and it would be huge!

Would you mind if we printed FREEZEFRAMERADIO.COM in the toilet bowl?

Well, we'd have to negotiate the proper advertising fee.

Maybe it would become the million dollar toilet. We could sell little ad spaces all over it.

Although you are obviously fully qualified, I think allowing the web visitor the option to control the flush would be much more popular.

I gotta say this is one of my favorite threads. It is just cool to watch this occur.

I'm sure all the toilet bowl cleaner companies would be chomping at the bit to be the SOLE sponser! (but I'm sure you'd negotiate to let little old us be a minor sponser since we're non-competing right web?)

Are you kidding me web? I find this stuff fascinating. I was just talking about this to a few of my uncles at the wedding. They are all so good at this stuff and I hope maybe somewhere I have the gene to be good at it.

I would love to be able to do stuff like that!

When you remodel, you remodel!!  Last Christmas we replaced a marble rose-colored double vanity top with an imitation granite.   It looks 100% better. That was phase one.  Phase two would have been to replace our small shower with one of those walk in kind that has double shower heads and seating.  Oh well, don't guess I need that anymore.

End of day two.

The first thing I did today was get the underlayment down on the floor. Lots and lots of nails. There's still a couple squeeks in the floor, but its much better than it was





I decided I needed to get the window done so I wouldn't have to stand in the tub to work on that later. So, I got the old window out and the hole plugged. On the outside, I haven't gotten that section of the house covered with the new vinyl siding yet so that will work out good. Once I get that part sided, no one will ever know there was ever a window there.





The biggest issue to move the toilet to the other side of the room was dealing with the old cast iron drain. The plumber said he could cut it off or I could probably do it. He thought we would probably save ourselves about $50 if I could cut it off. He thought it would take about an hour of hacking at it with a sawzall. I bought two abrasive blades for my sawzall and figured I'd work at it off on for about 10 minutes at a time until I eventually got through it. I was suprised at how well it cut. I probably spent 10 minutes total getting through it. The big black pipe is the one I cut off. The other steel pipe is the sink/tub drain. I stuffed a rag in them to keep the smell out




I also got started on the little wall to fill in the 6" between the tub and existing wall. I need to talk to the plumber again to make sure I don't put a support in the wrong place but that won't take long to finish and get installed when he gets here to rough everything back in.

That is what happened today. One trip to the lumber yard and three trips to the shop after tools I found I needed. As long as I keep moving the right direction, Mrs Web is happy.

Yeah, you better keep giving Sparky special treats to get him to work on your list. My lists weren't too bad until she started making them double sided.

I was not all that surprised to see the burned wood. I've seen more if it in different places, and many other similar things that have made me just shake my head.


Today, I worked on the "Light Tube". If you've never seen these before, they are really cool. Since we're closing the window, we need some natural light in there. This is basically a skylight that is a 10" tube to direct the light from the outside down to the ceiling.



This is a picture of the little dome in the roof that collects the light.





The inside of the tube has a mirror finish so all the sunlight bounces down through the tube. This picture was taken with no flash. When finished, the sunlight light will not be so harsh as it has a difuser that will go on after the ceiling is in and painted.






Here's one more showing the amount of light coming out of that 10" tube. Again, no flash, the only light is what is coming from the little "skylight".





If you have a dark corner of your house that could use some natural light, check out the tubes.

It is so nice to see the project being done step by step.  It makes me appreciate all the hard work you are putting into it.
