Powder Room - Functional Plumbing and Hardwired Internet

Due to the fact that the sink was originally off center in the room and I installed the new one centered, we hired a plumber to do the reconnect. He cut out the existing and put in new pipes and a p-trap in the center.

While he was there, we got him to put in the faucet and the toilet. Luckily, it turns out, as the toilet needed a new higher flange which was a more complex job than expected.

While he was working in the powder room, we had another crew in the house installed wall mounted lan drops and a new cable line. Previously ours came in at the front window and got cut during the window replacement. To me, it seems like a step backwards to have wired internet, but Tom is very excited about the performance improvements (we still have wireless as well though).

In the afternoon once all the trades were gone, I cut down the vanity doors and painted them. This blue paint needs so many coats to get an even finish, at least 3 on each side. I can’t tell if it’s the colour or the paint coverage. 

Finally I did some finishing touches including touching up the wall paint and installing the towel bar and toilet paper holder. 

And now we know: another case when hiring a professional was a good choice. I chatted to the plumber about shims for toilets (the upstairs one is a little wobbly) and he said there is nothing special, I can just use regular shims…need to add that to my ‘minor repairs to do list’
