K - ever wiser than I, and able to see something she wants and move decisively towards it, decided that the back hallway to the master bedroom and our access to the master bathroom lacked the proper feng shui. Also the bathroom was completely covered in a beautiful, but extensive and heavy pink and green tile scheme. The tile went floor to chest height and covered across a built in vanity with a single sink. No way to get to the fixtures in the vanity without tearing the tile off, no messing with vanity without losing at least 2 walls of tile.

Well, hell with all that! K has a modern design in mind and is additionally taking the opportunity to remove the tub and replace with a luxurious rain shower, move some doors around, and incorporate the back hallway into a “Master Suite” (ooh la la indeed!)

To that end the contractors started demo on MLK day, and I’ve been urban camping in the house! During the day, sometimes water on, sometimes water off. The noise has been constant. But it’s been illuminating to see how our house was build and how things used everyday like a shower actually function in the scheme of a household’s plumbing.

An interesting byproduct of the solo-site-security lifestyle is that I’m cooking some tasty ass burgers and making dope-ass white turkey chili. Go figure that as soon as K is out of the house, I turn into Martha-effing Stewart.

Ah well, c’est la vie.

Goodnight Internet, be well out there on the intertubes.
