Master Bathroom Remodel Weekend Number 11

Milestone was reached this weekend.  As a Valentine's Day present to my wife I got all of the sheet rock removed from the bathroom.  This weekend I had to engineer removing a large mirror without breaking it and remove the vanity so that we can donate it to the Habitat for Humanity Restore.  It takes time removing stuff for a remodel so that you can recycle or reuse the material that you remove.

Remove the faucets from the vanity

Mirror removed

I moved the mirror with the help of two suction cups, plywood and my handy straps.
The mirror will get a new life with a wood frame somewhere in the master bedroom

Georgia on my mind

Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
