1/2 Bath Final Stretch

Posted Feb 1st, 12 at 9:33 am by xand83 (Solar Beech / Adel White Kitchen + Baths)

Final stretch! Of course, after thinking about my faucet rant from yesterday (see previous post) and doing a little more research on Ikea faucets, I decided to forgo the Grundtal faucet all together. It's going back before I even bother. After hearing that the washers can cause the hoses to leak...

Minor Ikea Faucet Rant

Posted Jan 31st, 12 at 8:22 am by xand83 (Solar Beech / Adel White Kitchen + Baths)

Bath Moving Along....

Posted Jan 23rd, 12 at 10:40 am by xand83 (Solar Beech / Adel White Kitchen + Baths)

Well, that was a busy weekend! And it was only a 2-day. I think we got 2x as much accomplished compared with the 4-day weekend before.

1/2 Bath in Progress

Posted Jan 16th, 12 at 5:57 pm by xand83 (Solar Beech / Adel White Kitchen + Baths)
