I have missed all you guys, and all the activity and photos here. No, I am not dead, but might as well have been dead for the last six weeks.
I started this bathroom project in May, a total tear out and renovation of my small personal bathroom (my wife has a fantastic bathroom I did 25 years ago). It seemed simple enough, and although mainly a plumber, I have been in the building trades most of my life, and can do almost any part of construction. However, I did not factor in that I am rusty, both in my skills and in my old worn out bones. For the past six weeks it has consumed me night and day....like a war between me and the bathroom, and it has been winning.
Finally, I am seeing a victory ahead....maybe another week or two and I will fly the flag of success! The tile setter comes Monday, he works on the 4th, believe it or not....and after that I can wrap it up pretty quickly.
I have barely touched my K5 in six weeks....that is the worst part of this, going that long without shooting is a true nightmare..... don't try it!
I ripped it out, everything...and started from scratch...

Mrs Rupert's bathroom I did 25 years ago....I did everything here, including the tile, and it still looks pretty decent 25 years later.....

Anyhow, I just wanted to touch base with my friends here, I have missed you all, and my K5 and shooting. My life has been on hold.....but I have kept the Squirrels fed daily and hope to be back here regularly in another couple of weeks. We may take a little vacation when this is over....the house is covered with dust and littered with fixtures and parts waiting to be installed. It has been a true nightmare.....
Best Regards
Rupert
