Erik here. Just eating some cheese and adding some pictures. Sadly, I've had to sideline the boat project. For one thing, I missed the deadline for getting it into the water by winter. I'll get it done for the spring though. Since then, just about everything stopped working in our master bathroom, so I started scouting for materials to gut and redo the whole thing. It all started when I found this funky chest at the Habitat Restore:
And used my jig-saw to convert it into a sink!
A craigslist find: a 5' claw foot iron tub. Some white enamel cleaned up the rustiness nicely.
In order to fit this into our bathroom, we required a slightly radical change to the layout of our master bedroom. This wall was moved from left to right about 3 feet, making room for a tub in addition to our shower.
Since that picture I've ripped down the wall with the door to out tiny "toilet room" to the left. Then I found a 2nd hand faucet and drain to complete FRANKENSINK!
Claire doesn't really like Frankensink. Yet. Once the whole thing is together, I think she'll like it. We're also pulling the old laminate and putting down tile, not to mention a full size shower stall.
Here are pictures of Karl acting out various "moods."
Thoughtful:
Which Karl are you?
Claire has confirmed that I am not allowed to use these as a collage for a Christmas card. Too bad.
