FLORIDAYS RENOVATION 2015

MONDAY, 6 APRIL 2015

Rico is in doggie heaven . . .
. . . for the first time in years,
he can look out a front window
(unfortunately, nothing much
happens that he's
interested in,
except my leaving the house).

Doors are off this
awful tub . . .
repainting of tub & tiles
is scheduled for Monday, 13 April.

TUESDAY, 7 APRIL 2015
FLORIDA
Shower doors are delivered to the house.
At this point, I am getting quite frustrated, as Joe & crew
spend two days on another job (replacing the dance floor at a strip club).
After I send a strongly-worded email, John & Brad
come here for a few hours, to at least
put in the shower doors & high-rise toilet and appease me.
Somewhat.

I couldn't resist
this declaration of
"white trash";
or, more appropriately,
"pink trash".
FLORIDA

(While Joe is here, he gets a phone call from the strip club owner;
the floors were glued down and then screwed down,
as per the owner's request. Since he wouldn't close
the club for a day to let the glue dry, he was now complaining
that "the girls are getting glue on their shoes . . . and feet",
as it came up through the seams.
Joe & Dan leave, ostensibly to put tape on the seams
of the floor, altho this being Florida, who knows?
I've never seen so many XXX stores on a main highway in my life.
To the point when I saw a sign for EXOTIC CARS,
I read it as EROTIC CARS.)
All joking aside, when John starts on a job, get outta the way!
The frame was too wide (always somethin'), so he cut it down to fit.
Isn't the brushed nickel nice looking?

With the doors off the shower, there is room enough to
maneuver in a new toilet (or is that TMI?).

FLORIDA FLORIDA

OJT - reading instructions for putting in shower doors.
Brad is very confident, especially with John training him.
FLORIDA
(I've been listening, and he really IS good
at teaching Brad how to do these various installations.)

Oh, yeah . . . toilet first . . .
FLORIDA

. . . THEN the shower doors . . .
FLORIDA

NOW we can see that fancy
tilework, the room is
less claustrophobic
and the doors are clean
(they have something
on them that supposedly
makes water bead,
and not stain,
although Florida water will
be the ultimate test of that).
FLORIDA

I will update as renovations are finished and house cleaned and furniture moved in.
Walgreens has tshirts with PALM HARBOR on them,
three for $10, and in PINK . . .
so I buy them and will insist that Neal put one on when
I pick him up from the Tampa Airport on 18 April.

Shell Lewis tells me that Tinkerbelle went to her
Forever Home . . . and sends me this pic . . .
