You're looking at 40ft (4x10ft) of 1x6 fir that would have been $150 a couple years ago that we just paid $475 for and I need a drink. But I can't afford alcohol, so I'll just drink my own tears. #pandemicBath #renovation #inflation #renoflation

This is not a place you ever want to be and not where I planned to be #today. I was installing, or trying to, the bathroom vanity when I realized it needed bracing behind the wall. So I had to crawl into the small cubby hole in our bedroom closet to access the area behind the wall, dig out the insulation, and install some bracing. Sweaty, itchy, cramped, space. #pandemicBath #DIY #HomeReno #PortAlberni

It's painting day for the trim in the #pandemicbath Almost done the 2nd coat then I can start nailing it all up. #DIY #Renovations #ThisOldHouse #PortAlberni

I made a window sill for the first time! 🪟 #DIY #PandemicBath #Home #PortAlberni

My NAILS. They're RUINED!! 😭 😭 I guess this is why there was no Bathroom Renovation Ken. And if there was Bathroom Reno Barbie, she'd have awesone work gloves.

#pandemicBath Mirror came today!! Yay! #DIY

It’s 11:12PM but doesn’t mean I can’t submit the final work-complete inspection request to the BC online cuz we got the last of the electrical finished up yesterday in the #pandemicBath ! 😂 😁 🙌
Have a working fan and lights! GFI plug and a electric receptacle ready for the lighted mirror! Woooot! Getting so close now! Bit by bit! Next is vanity/sink, baseboard trim, and window sill/trim.

Bathroom ceiling painting complete! Walls will have to wait until we get from Toronto next weekend. #pandemicBath #painting #DIY #HomeImprovement #ThisOldHouse #PortAlberni

First look at the final colour of the #pandemicBath. It is more blue grey in this light but seems to alternate between grey, white and even slightly beige in different lights. It’s quite nice. And I’m not big on greys.

Just ordered a new toilet for the #pandemicbath project and simultaneously discovered there is a toilet emoji. 🚽
Things are looking up people!
