Bathroom Work

stickmakerI spent much of the past week doing long-planned work in the upstairs bathroom. I installed a second, higher shelf (after having to buy more support brackets when I couldn't find those I bought a few months ago) and put some items on it, freeing room on the lower, earlier shelf. I had to change my design a couple of times, mainly due to not being able to locate a stud despite careful measuring! (There are now lots of small holes in the wall.)
The past couple of days I've devoted to scraping and painting the wooden surround of the upstairs bathroom window, which is now in the new shower. After putting on the first coat I resolved to find a better brush for the second. I found a better brush. I also found the missing shelf brackets! The second coat looks much smoother than the first, partly due to the better brush. After checking for coverage I tossed the brush and what was left of the can of paint.
I'm using the downstairs bathroom for my showers just now anyway, so there will be plenty of time for the paint to dry. I still need to remove the masking tape, sweep out the shower pan and reinstall the shade.
