Valves, euscheon plates & paint

This past Thursday night after happy hour I primed the bedroom. After 4 beers and a shot of Tequilla (to celebrate Cinco de Mayo of course) it was pretty easy to prime the walls. There is no carpet down yet and no trim on the walls... I was able to go as fast as I could.

Last Wednesday I tried to install the 3 valves for the sink and toilet. I was watching a hockey game so I tried to run downstairs during commercials and in between periods. Of course it ended up not being as easy as it should have been. After turning the water back on, one of the valves was leaking. I had to vacuumed out as much water as I could and try to resoldier. After some struggle it is now a very slow leak. I have to shut the water off again, cut out the valve, and try to install a new one.

Regardless, Jason pointed out that I forgot to install the Euscheon plates prior to install the valves... I guess I now have to cut out all three and try again. I purchased a few more today... Thats HD trip 47.

The valve on the left has a very slow leak.

Here is the toilet valve but I forgot to install the euscheon plate.

Last week Jason came by an installed the silicone on the glass. The shower is just about complete. I just have to put a few tiles around the valves and controls. 

This weekend I was in Philadelphia for a wedding. I had a great time, but that is now two weekends of little progress. I was able to install some more trim. Dave helped again and he primed the bathroom while I was working on the trim.

I am hoping to have at least the bedroom all painted by next weekend. Saturday morning the carpet is being installed. Once that goes in I can complete the trim work.
