Bathroom renovation, part deux

We painted out bathroom this weekend - again. We've lived in this house for almost five years, and the bathroom was the first thing that was remodeled out of necessity. A year or two ago, we had water damage in that room from rainwater leaking on the roof or through the exterior wall, and more recently, we had a bigger leak in the roof that added to the damage.


A new roof was installed a few months ago, so in addition to working on the baby's room right now, Dad respackeled in the bathroom and we repainted. Kevin also removed the old medicine cabinet and light fixture, which were sorely in need of an update. One of our neighbors picked the old one out of our trash!


It looks much better and I can say that I like it more than what we had in there before! We just need to order some tile to cap off the bottom section of the wall, but the bathroom should be complete (again) soon.


Kevin removing the old fixture. Scary working with electricity.


Our old medicine cabinet was much bigger than this and covered the hole, but apparently along the line somewhere a smaller one was recessed in the wall.

The color is Almond Toast.

Check out that great job with the cabinet and light!

Another masta

Kevin graduated from Temple U today with his master's in education in sports management (essentially - that may not be the exact terminology). The ceremony by far was more impressive than my PSU branch graduation. The Liacouras Center was packed (it took them 30 minutes to process in!) and Bill Cosby, probably Temple's most famous alum and trustee, showed up and said some words, which was entertaining. After the entire university graduated, they broke off into the different colleges and received their individual recognition. Kevin's dad joined me at that ceremony and we listened to two hours of names being called. Afterwards, Kevin had to head to work as Temple baseball is in the A-10 tourney, so he went to Camden for the game and I grabbed the train home.


Enjoy some photos!
