No pics this weekend either.

Got the bumper and the tongue primed and painted. Mixed up flat and gloss black rustoleum and ended up with a satin finish. Looks pretty good - its too late in the season to fuss over it too much.

Got the rest of the ceiling installed.

Put in the final vent over the bathroom - this one has a fan.

Jennifer insulated the back wall and the little wall between the doorway and the back.

I managed to get the side wall of the shower up and covered with FRP. The upper and lower halves of the back wall are luan to be FRP'd shortly. Also started fitting the wet wall for eventual luan/FRP.

New tub isn't exactly the same as the old. I'll have to cut off and extend the drain to get it to come in right under the tub drain.

Originally, I was going to redo all the plumbing. It's the silver/grey stuff that has fallen out of use because the chlorine in city water deteriorates it from the inside out.

Anyhow, I can do that later, and just reusing all that's good will save me a bunch of time. I'll need some new lines for the shower box, but otherwise, most of the old stuff should work.

Going to try to wrap up enough of the bathroom that I can install the closet for the fridge and furnace - I may need the furnace installed soon with the cold weather we've been having.

The steps I installed last week have been somewhat disappointing. The tabs that hold the retaining bolt for the higher step are bending and letting the step droop. The lower step's retaining tabs were never right and now it droops even more. I'm going to have to reengineer some of it, which will likely require a little welding after I remove it. PITA.
