Good Progress

The guys from Jordan Plumbing helped move the water closet to its new location beside the bathtub. Man am I glad I didn't try to do what they did alone. Everything is coming together, and we'll be bathing tomorrow night! Yippee!

Almost Done Demolishing!

Kevin helped me take out the rest of the wall tiles yesterday, and I called Art Cervantes and Son to haul away the cosmic debris. Today I finished taking out the moldy ceiling panel and the floor where the new tub will be. Thursday is when the plumber is coming to hook up the pipes.

Bathroom Progress

I'm still doing the bathroom. Tearing out tiled walls and rotten floors is tough! I made a shower out of a blue tarp, a garden hose, and a pull up bar, so we've been backyard bathing since I smashed out the tub last week. We went campin for a couple of days, then came back. Kevin drove me to Lowe's in his truck to buy plywood for the floor, and today he's helping me get drywall. I need to be ready for the plumber by Thursday. Wish me luck!

Talking 'Bout China Camp, Whoa-oa-oh!

Kevin, Pat and I cheated death yesterday at China Camp. Pat was forced off the trail by a group of novices and plummeted down the side of a mountain. He climbed up, unscathed, and chastised the group for their lack of trail ettiquette. Ettiquette schmettiquette was their reply. Pat rode like a possesed "muffin" after that until we could reconvene at the top of the mountain for a safety meeting. He ate some chocolate and became calm again. Later, after screaming down this hill to get to some singletrack, Kevin overcorrected on a steep hairy right turn across a bridge and fell 10 feet! It was quite dramatic and Pat caught it on digital camera. I took some pictures and photoshopped them together to show the depth of the ravine he fell into. I was pretty cautious after my two friends almost died, needless to say. Neither of them got badly hurt, so they both tried one more time to make it to the hospital by riding off the side of a sheer cliff! Jackasses! They both made it though, muffins! Check the pics.
