Water Off, Chilling.......

Well.....hmmmm. The two bathrooms are still cheap. I'm keeping the front bath toilet and it will get the valve body and flapper from the old half bath toilet. The supply valve was bad. Didn't expect that. So a few more bucks. Toying with the idea of getting a new toilet but the old one isn't cracked.

The damage from my last foray into Lowes comes to $57.52. That's for one 6' by 9' roll of cheap sheet vinyl flooring, a quart of glue to stick it down with, and a gallon of paint to match the walls to the vinyl. Not least but last, two tubes of caulk since one cannot have too much of the stuff. I gave up on the mauve paint. Eyes just hurt looking at the test patches. Imagine a whole bathroom that color.

So far, so good. Typing a bit now, waiting for the glue to cure on some of my plumbing. Water's off till then. A plate has been bolted down where the toilet was. It's gonna be a-while before any fixtures go back in since the walls will now need more work.
