Bathrooms (conclusion?)
We're getting ever so close! The final touches will be hardly noticeable. But the main thing is that both bathrooms are functional. I can take a shower and there is a door to close. And gradually we are moving tools back into place and out of the lowly bathroom we have been using for more than a month and a half. And yes, we'll get some photos on the walls - I know John's walls will feature our trip out West this past summer (which will match the thematic colors).

Winged Impression
We found this impression on our back window this morning. It is a little hard to tell but the size makes us think it was left by a mourning dove. Maybe one being chased by one of our neighborhood hawks. We didn't find a body so it probably survived the impact. Of course it may have some religious significance.

Garage Sale
Oberlin is having a city-wide garage sale. We didn't plan to be a part of it given everything has been so busy lately and we hadn't prepared. But our neighbor was attracting huge crowds - so late in the morning we pulled our "good" stuff out. Mostly items we'll no longer need from our bathroom recontruction. But also items we have used in years like a chain saw and our monster wood stove. So far not much has sold (besides the chain saw). But the weather is beautiful and Nicki is getting yard work done (picture was taken before she started the yard work). And maybe we'll strike it big and the wood stove will go...

Bathrooms (cont.)
More than a month and maybe another week or two? Painting is done. Electricals and lights are installed. Mirrors mounted. All we're waiting on is the flooring, a shower door, and the trim and door on a closet. And, of course, the seating. Our contractor hasn't really spent a lot of time actually working.
Almost forgot to say - did we tell you we are having the exterior of our house painted probably next week? It will feel real good when all the house improvements are completed.
