It's Mauve?

Friday was yet another hot day. It melted the glue on the tip of one of A's shoes. It didn't stop us from nailing up most of the finish ceiling. The ceiling is covered with random width stained yellow pine boards. Came out well. Young R has been gluing foam board to the stem walls. My glasses are at the job site, that sucks.

Saturday rolled around and though not a hundred degrees, was within touching distance. Working outside on my townhouse was not a happening thing. There are two cheap bathrooms that need attention though in air conditioning......so first a trip to Lowe's to get yet more goodies. This time I spent just under thirty bucks for underlayment, bag o' paint rollers, and a twenty dollar can of "Ultra Premium Valspar" for three bucks. The paint was three dollars for a reason. Those little dots of paint on the lid can be deceptive. It's mauve, not just any shade of mauve, but mauve on steroids. I'm very tempted for sheer cussedness to use it since it cost three whole dollars.....but it's very strong. Each test spot on the wall was THERE.

My staging area for the front bath under the back bath sink. Various stuff including salvaged toilet parts.


The old toilet from the half bath donated it's relatively new valve body and flapper to the cause. Then became a fifth seat for the Baja.
