What's Left

The to-do list is shorter these days, if you're only looking at the major items, or longer if you're paying attention to th picky details. Here's what I've got: 

Rupert's Bathroom:
- Re-caulk the junction of the tub and the bath surround. The first try didn't take, so I had to clean off all the original silicone to start over.  But it's done now.
- Clean the adhesive off the new vinyl floor
- Install the TP holder Go Rupert!
- Install the shelf Go, Rupert!

Everything that has been completed so far, looks really good.  We found a really nice rug for the living room area, and Cosmo heartily approves.  Yes, some things got done more than once, but the extra effort really paid off.  We learned enough on the first go-rounds to get it right the second time, and we're well-equipped to take on new or similar tasks in the future.  And, we're still within the original budget we envisioned, with a good half of the work being paid in cash.  That's a really good feeling. \o/
