Finally, I have something to report. Week six is where you start to understand how I operate. I accomplish tiny tasks for five weeks and then rush to finish during the last three. Most of the time, this crush of work is self-induced. This time, I was waiting for tradespeople, but that is totally understandable.…

I don't have much to share this week because I am still waiting for the plumber. Until he comes to repair the toilet flange and drain pipe, I cannot screw down the subfloor. The subfloor needs to be screwed down before I can reinstall the HardieBacker on the shower walls and so on. It is…

Well, here we are again. Unfortunately, you are not experiencing deja vu. After months at a standstill, work in the guest bathroom resumes. Before I launch into today's post, I want to offer a quick introduction to new readers. I'm Stacy, writer of this blog and host of the True Tales From Old Houses podcast.…
