Before there was MadMen, I referred to Paul’s project-state as, “MadMan”.
Because when he starts something, there is no stopping.

In the last five days he has:

  • Laid out all the floor tile so I could rearrange it in a way that satisfied me.
  • Tolerated way more rearranging than he thought was necessary.
  • Did all the math, made all the cuts, ran up and down the stairs, in and out of the house, back and forth to the wet-saw…
  • Installed the floor.
  • Waited for it to set.
  • Put the final coat of paint on the door, installed the mortice, and attached the doorknob and hinges.
  • Started on the subway tile.
  • Grouted.
  • Hung the door.
  • And found time to go pick up something I could not live without from craigslist

As a reminder, here is what we started with, before we Moved A Wall:  Hall Bath

When we began gutting and discovered a second bath’s worth of tile, concrete, and reinforcement wire under the first: Twice the work.
