Oops

Well, it's no secret that the vast majority of our time lately has been consumed by this remodel. Thank heavens the worst of it is over! At some point I'll do a Before/After post, but that means things need to go back to their rightful place and pictures need to go back on the walls for the after photos. So, um, it'll be a while.

But, here's a teaser...

We took down all our doors, painted them white, and replaced the old rusty brass hardware with new brushed nickel hardware. My job (among others) was to label the doors and make sure they got put back in the correct place after the fact. In theory, that's easy. And if I had labeled the doors on the bottom as I originally wanted to, instead of in the area where we took the door lock off (ahem, as Josh suggested, ahem) it would have been no problem.

Alas, I labeled the doors in the area where we took the door lock off. I may or may not have subsequently painted over said labels when I was rolling the doors. I told Josh that I still knew which ones were which, but as you can see below...that was not (exactly) the case.

Here's the guest bath door upstairs...


Looks good, huh? Oh, wait, is that a gap?


Um...yeah.


The best part is that neither one of us had a clue about that 4 inch difference until all the hinges were screwed in. I was in a different room, and Josh yells, "Hey, honey, you might want to come check this out."

All I could do was laugh (and take a few pics for the blog, of course). You'll be happy to know that the BASEMENT BATHROOM door is now back in it's rightful place, as is the upstairs hall bathroom door. So, as I mentioned on facebook a week or so ago, you can pee in private at my house now. You're welcome in advance. ;)

HEHE!! That's funny... I don't think any gap filler would fix that!
