this is our washroom renovation project- phase one was just demolition, phase 2 is underway with the installation of new electrical lines(you can see in the video why we had to replace them), fixtures and walls and flooring and tile

The guy in the video is Elf's brother Mark- he now has TWO black eyes as the damage wasn't fully manifested yesterday- note the tiny size of the ninja wood responsible- stupidest part is he had to go to the hospital on saturday for a concussion he got while kayaking and then had to go straight back wednesday night to get 4 stitches

Gonna take a short clip every day for posterity :mabs:

Awesome project, can't wait to watch how it pans out!

That's the last thing I need to take care of at my house, the bathroom! I need to "modernize" it like the rest of the house.

It will be pretty easy stuff like adding a new toilet, wash basin, shower and do some drywall, all the plumbing and electric are new.

Keep the video's coming Mab's style :mabs:

My recent bathroom "renovation" consists of changing out the decor from Simpsons to baby turtles. Guess who's bathroom it isn't anymore.

It's okay. As long as you can still go in there to do up your own "swimming log" vynsane-style, it don't matter for shit who's on them motherfuckin' walls. :mabs:

well, to be fair, it was used to describe any room that the lady of the house used to wash/dress/relax. so it could've been the bathroom, too, but it's most commonly known as the bedroom.

If you're using zee Franch, you have to put in a bidet. Extra points if you hire Paul Hogan to yell out the window, "It's fer warshing yer backsahde!"

(Really. I bet you could hire Paul Hogan for a cheeseburger.)

yeah, are bidet's required in all canadian bathrooms just like french text must accompany english text? it's kinda like the physical french translation of a toilet. sort of.

They'd probably have to find a way to stick a "u" in there somewhere.

Holy fuck, you guys are lost. There are no bidets in our regular johns and no "u"s in any of our spellings of the following words: toilet, shitter, potty or porcelain pool. I have no clue what the fuck they do in the french parts of Quebec with respect to bidets OR spelling, for the most part. The French for bathroom is "sal de bain".

actually JJ it's salle de bain OR toilette

French for "room" (salle) is feminine

not putting a bidet in here tho I bet Elf would appreciate it :mabs:

We ALMOST have the drywall done
