A warm place to shower
Sorry there are still no pictures. If I have my camera then the cable is missing. It's murphy's law lately.
Things are moving along smoothly here at The Fisherman's House though. Our contracter has done all of the drywall upstairs in the bathroom and in Little S's room. Everything looks great.
Right now were just waiting on our tile for the bathroom. We had to order the tile and the wait is two to three weeks. I'm sorry to say that my metro tile did not make the cut. We chose this pretty tile from Lapeyre which we had admired for a long time but hesitated on due to the price. We decided we'd sacrifice something. Instead of having the exposed pipes on the bathtub we'd go for the tile. The price difference was the same. The tub faucets will be wall mounted instead.
After the tile then the fixtures and faucets will be installed. Lastly the tub will go in, our clawfoot beauty bought almost four years ago to the day. We still have to paint the outside of it white and paint the feet in bronze. We plan on doing that over the holidays.
We're really excited because the finish line for the bathroom is in sight. Soon we'll be boarding up the wall after the bathroom and taking advantage of using our indoor plumbing. Finally a heated room for all to enjoy. It will be divine not to have to step outside and shower in the toolshed.
Just so you can appreciate how cold it gets out there, here's a photo from last January. Frozen shower? No problem. You just have to wait until the afternoon when the pipes get warm. It will be nice to say goodbye to that!

Beautiful tile! That is the our bathtub in that LePerye page! I had it posted on my blog when we ordered our tub!!
I found out later that there is a guy in Germany selling the robinette for 99 dollars, better than the 300 we spent there! Then those outside pipes were another 300, what a rip! I'll will send you the link in case you have not bought the faceuts yet.
It's going to look lovely in there!
