The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Are they stripping the linoleum yet?
To: Cyber Liberty; maxwell; TheGrimReaper
Gone, except for the laundry room.
Our toilet is now in the bathtub. If Maxie or Grimmy say anything, I'll shoot them! Master bath should be done today. It is looking good.

One toilet ring now in place. They said they would have done that, anyway.

The boss is here, and he wanted to get the Master bath finished first. I do believe he is right.

Yes, they should put some sort of cover over it... usually a piece of scrap plywood with a brick to hold it down.
To: Slip18

"...some kind of a thing in the hole." Ohboy....this will get exlaxmommy going....
To: TheGrimReaper
My sister is married to an Indian from India. She's been to India now three times. She calls crying every time. His parents built her a "modern" bathroom with toilet.
The crying is usually over the goats that have their throats slit. She can see them from her balcony. She only eats rice and veges when she's there.
