Okay, fine, the picture is kind of blurry and that is not the colour of the faucet, but the point remains. Do you see them? Water drops! In the sink! We have running water!
It took two trips to Home Depot, some judicious use of the saw and Dremel kit, a small panic and a certain creativity with plumbing elbows, but this morning I brushed my teeth in the bathroom, and that's just a great feeling.
The vanity we had initially ordered was smaller, and was nearly completely open on the bottom, like a table — it only had a shelf way at the very bottom. So we didn't really measure the openings fo the drain and water pipes when we redid that wall, because the vanity was so flexible. And then, of course, came the backorder thing and the substitution thing, and when the new, bigger vanity with the (surprise!) drawers arrived, we found that the P-trap ... didn't fit.
And P-traps are really important.
Yeah.
I assume it works because the drain is draining and the pipes are not leaking. That's good enough for me.
...
So I've decided that the light in the bathroom makes the automatic white balance on the DSLR give up and die. There's a CFL above the bathtub and halogens in the sconces on either side of the medicine cabinet, and somehow that means that I have three different wall colours in three different pictures. It is probably somewhere between the colour in the first picture (but less green) and the third (not baby blue). It is almost baby blue in the morning, which I find distressing, and then absolutely, adorably dusky at night, which I love.
And the faucet is not bronze at all; it's a sort of brushed pewter. (It should have been brushed nickel, but there was a small mix-up and ... whatever. Running water!)
So now there's a functional powder room! The shower is not yet functional, but that is only a matter of time (I think). It almost feels like a real house now!
