Time for the yearly BIG project

If its tax time, it must be home improvement time.  This year we are installing a shower stall into the bathroom.  We decided to install a mid-range shower unit and then keep the old claw foot for another year.  Next year, it will be next on the agenda.  We debated installing a lower end shower/tub unit, but decided that for the value of the house, this would be the better option.  So, hopefully by this time tomorrow, we will have a vanity back in the bath (it is currently in the garage) and a new shower unit.  I will take pictures as the project progresses,  You never know what you will catch, ;)

Here is the update on "Fleur".  I have gotten quite a bit done, for me.  I am enjoying working on this, especially the GAST "Egyptian Nights" that are used on the stained glass window rows.  Now the metallic that is used for the leading, I can do without.  I love the look, hate working with it.

Hobby Lobby was having a 50% off sale on their framing supplies, sectional frames, mat board and foam core, so I bought the supplied to frame up "Eastern Seaboard" and "Great Lakes Lowland"  I hope to have them done this weekend and will post pictures as soon as I get them done. 

The weather here has been beautiful the last couple of days, record warm.  It is supposed to get back to typical Feb weather by the end of the week, but we going to drop slowly.  They are calling for rain and thunder tomorrow.  It will make doing the shower a pain, but, oh well.

That is about all the update I have for now.  Will sign off.  Time to take my meds and head to bed!   Have a good one, all!

I can remember doing reno's at our house, so glad not to be doing that anymore, but i wish you the best of luck with your new shower unit. Your stitching looks great and can't wait to see your framed ones.
