Summer of 2005 at Lake Sapphire
A Busy Summer!

The boys are swatting flies like fools!

Carol is fixing us a cool adult beverage to watch the sunset with.
This is the beginning of a 3 day work bonanza!

Our plan was to gut the bathroom down to the studs. We had a drop ceiling, paneling and carpet to remove.

We started the demo that night, preparation to change the faucet in the tub, the lighting, add an exhaust fan, new drywall, and a tile tub surround.

By the end of our 3 days, we had almost everything done. The drywall took the longest to hang and tape. The tile took most of the last day, but we finished what we set out to do.
The whole time we worked the weather was fabulous! We did take a break while waiting for the paint to dry, to head out for an hour of fishing.
The next trip up we put the finish paint coat on, and grouted and sealed the tile.
This summer we painted the paneling, and scraped up all of the old carpet and vinyl flooring in preparation for new.
The carpet in the front room
And new vinyl in the kitchen, hall and bathroom.
