Just so y'all don't think I'm totally inept...
Mom expressed interest in having her bathroom painted. Took care of that and while I was at it, figured it was time to do other stuff it needed.
So, over the weekend I painted, ripped up the old toilet (generic, builder-grade) and replaced the white (!!) ceramic tile floor with good old-fashioned vinyl tile. Yeah, I know the ceramic was supposed to be something of an upgrade, but it was impossible to keep clean, especially the grout.
Oh. Installed a new toilet, too. Kinda important!
It looks quite lovely, if I do say so as shouldn't. Paint might be a bit too shiny, so I'm considering applying a matte glaze to tone it down a bit. Mom's happy with it as it is, but it's my house, as I keep reminding her!
My bathroom next.
No progress on the Dumont, though. Went out and bought some of that PB Blaster stuff to spray on the convergence controls but they're still frozen (though it did help me loosen the supply line for the terlet). I'm about ready to give up on this sucker. Anyone want to give it a good home? Just come on by!
Oh, and I won that Heathkit with the horizontal hold problem on ebay. Glutton for punishment? You betcha!
