Time for a toast

The Calcondo re-do is finished.  I'll spare you the "before" picture.  It was pretty ugly.  But here is one of the "after" pictures.

 

This is looking into the bathroom from the master bedroom.  The old sink overflowed onto the carpeted bathroom floor and out into the bedroom and hallway, also carpeted.  All of the walls had to be replaced and also the vanity.  We had the bathroom and hallway tiled, and had new carpet installed in the rest of the place.  It looks wonderful now, just in time for us to leave it.  But, hopefully, it will be clean and dry when we return, and we have appointed scouts to check things out while we are away.  What an ordeal.

I've made more progress on the chef-in-a-mug.

She still needs clothes, but at least she has her make-up on and some hair.  I'm happy with her so far.  Each project is a learning experience.  Next time you see her she'll be wearing her chef's garb.

So now I need to tidy up a little.  We've invited the neighbor ladies over for late-afternoon wine and "the great unveiling."  For 2 months they've been putting up with construction noise.  We'll be sure to keep their glasses filled.  Maybe we should have called a caterer.
