Since we are waiting for our bathtub to be delivered, we decided to work on the wall framing that will hold the plumbing fixtures for the tub/shower. Since every brand has its own proprietary components, we had to make a decision of what kind of shower fixture to get. So a trip up to George Moreland Plumbing in Lincoln City was in the plans for this weekend.  They have a nice showroom.  Jeff and I wandered around and found the most beautiful Italian tub faucet, shower head and valve that we thought would be perfect for our bathroom.  That is until we found out the price. $1,800.00 I guess we have impeccable taste. We ended up with a Price Pfister unit which is considerably more affordable. And it has a lifetime guarantee! Though they might not be aware that we are installing it in a house that is supposed to last 900 years.  We will hold off buying the actual fixtures, part of their “Contempra” collection, but we needed to buy the valve parts for the rough-in.

Sunday ended up being a gloriously sunny day.  We took the opportunity to open up all the doors and windows to help dry out the structure.  With all the rain we have been getting  and the fact that the shell leaks, it was good to get rid of all the trapped moisture in our house.  We can’t wait until the structure is fully waterproofed.
