Bathroom

The bathroom is near the end of completion. It may take a while for me to finish it completely, now that it is useable. I am a finisher by nature, so it will get done, Lord willing, before the end of the summer. Here is what the outside of our bathroom looks like. I plan to drywall the outside when I can get to it.
The kids didn't end up helping as much as I wanted. Jonathan helped wire the outlets and switches and Josh helped put in the doors. They also helped in the framing, hammering in the studs. Jay and Josh helped a little with the plumbing. Josiah, Rachel and Jesse "helped" with the first coat of spackling.

Here's the toilet room. A pocket door gives some privacy.

A view from the toilet room to the shower room, which also has a pocket door. I hope to paint the wooden cabinet in there to match at some point, if we like it in there (that is the cabinet I acquired from Grammy).

Here's the sinks. We decided not to put a door here, because it is not needed and will only get in the way. I am so grateful we now have a bathroom for the boys. I'm sure it will get even more use as they get their bedrooms finished. I'm hoping to start that project by the end of the year.

My focus has now turned to the outside and the garden. James is building me a nicer fence than the one I made last year around the garden. It is bigger too. I also plan to have a large unfenced garden too. I got a lot of tilling done this weekend. It is so great to have a tiller. Last year we did it all by hand. What a difference! I planted peas and a bit of lettuce so far. Jay, Rachel and Josiah all helped. I hope to get the kids more involved this year. Jonathan and Jay are going to have their own row to plant their own garden. Should be interesting.
