Hello Lovely Readers!
Our Bathroom Remodel!
Well, it’s finally finished! My only gripe? I completely forgot to tell them to install the shower chair. The chair was still sealed up in the cardboard box in which it was delivered! It was in our garage and since I never opened it, it was not included with the other fixtures which I gave them to install. During all of the noise and commotion, I was so fixated on my writing that I simply forgot! Bummer!
Since the project was completed they could not install the chair since they’d have to remove and re-install the tiles! Which would have been an added expense. I have a mobile shower chair that I can use as needed. I’m getting better with standing for longer periods of time so I should be fine.
Have you ever forgotten to give a contractor proper instructions? I’d be interested in hearing about it!
Here’s some pics of our new bathroom. It’s so neat! We love it!

This book has taken a bit of time for me to write. Historicals are harder for me because of the research involved. I must be sure that the situations are handled in a plausible manner since the story takes place in the 1800s.
