A Little More Progress

All the electrical works! Dimmer switch at left, fan delay timer
at center, and GFCI outlet at right.
I managed to get a little bit more accomplished on the half bath yesterday. That wore me out and I had some health issues later that night so I took another day off today for rest and recovery. Actually, I slept the entire day!

I installed the subfloor as well as the underlayment. That was a fairly easy job. We now have another clean and level spot in the old house! Oh, and a solid spot! 

Once I get a primer for the self-adhesive tiles, I can finish the flooring. I have a couple of extra boxes of the tile flooring that we had installed in the hallway that we plan to continue on into this new half bath. 

A week or so ago, I had written that I installed all the wiring and tested all the fixtures and everything was fine... While everything worked fine (meaning I had wired everything correctly), I had a problem fitting these bulky electronic switches/timers/outlets into the particular triple box I installed. I needed to buy a slightly larger box. Not only did I have difficulty fitting all the wiring connections into that first box but there was a molded bump in the side of the box that made the box useless for these switches! These big, bulky electronic switches simply would not fit into that box. I had to pull everything apart again, remove the original box, install the new deeper box and the re-install all the wiring, switches and outlets again. That alone required about an hour of my time. It is now all connected and everything works!

Little by little and very slowly, this project is coming together...
