N's spent the days when I'm out of town painting the bathroom the last couple of weeks. It got pretty well covered, and we decided 48-72 hours after the last coat that we are happy with it. There's a spot on the ceiling that needs to be touched up, but overall the color is consistent and bright.
I cleaned off the dust that had covered the light fixture, and then installed the two accent pieces to the ends of the fixture.
Then we gathered together the supplies to install the new switches and outlet. We actually did not have a lighted switch available, but we decided to remove the lighted switch in the master bathroom. It's not a switch that we really need - both of us are used to using it, and it makes more sense in a public bathroom where there are two switches to choose from.
We replaced the lighted switch in the master bath with a regular switch. Then we replaced the two switches in the yellow bathroom. The installation's a little wonky, so we might go back later and fix this, but we weren't sure what to do right now.
Then we tried to replace the outlet. It took seven attempts with the poorly labeled circuit box before we found the correct circuit breaker. Once found, we installed the new, white outlet, and then returned the power to the bathroom. Ta-da!
We tore off the tape on the door, removed the towels that were protecting the floor, and swept up the dust.
We then began to assemble the sink parts, but we hit a snag when we realized that the new cabinet places the sink a couple of inches higher than the old sink, and we'd need a connecting pipe. So, we quit here, to wait for some help from my genius family.
