Grout. Sink. Toilet?

Yesterday our neighbor came over to learn how/help Matt grout the tile on the walls...
...so that this afternoon he could move the sink from the old bathroom into the new one!
And so tonight after supper, Bobbi was able to brush her teeth at the new sink!
She's been doing more and more of her brushing while standing. She still needs someone standing near her because her balance isn't the greatest yet, but she's getting there! She can lean against the sink, and hold on with her non-dominant hand while she brushes. The trick is that the toilet is still in the old location, so is completely blocking the way, so Dad has to carry her out there. Not to mention all the other stuff blocking the way! (Note: this photo was taken before the sink was in - the red spot on the far wall is the water supply and waste line coming out of the wall.)
Supposedly Matt was going to be working on getting the toilet moved tonight, too. That would be AMAZING because, once that toilet is moved and the grab bars are in, Bobbi will be able to go to the toilet by herself for the first time since last October!!! That will be nice for her and for us.

  1. Maybe I, as the kids say, need to get a life, but I'm very excited about your bathroom nearing completion! Y'all have been so patient. 🙋😊

    1. Thanks for getting excited with us. ;) This IS life!! Your comment above was my inspiration to go get a photo of what Matt got done today for the post I threw up tonight! Enjoy.

  2. Now I'm chuckling because I wasn't expecting all this to be so near completion! Btw maybe I'm weird, but I think the off-center window is extra cool. Symmetry is often overrated. Yay, team! ☺️
