Happy Birthday Bathroom!

So the bathroom's official birthday was last Monday. The glass got installed and the can light was put in the shower. The first official shower was on Tuesday and it was Wonderful! With a capital W. But....the light had already burnt out in the shower. Yeah. When the glass wall and door got installed the waterproofing caulking stunk big time, so I turned on the fan which is now connected to the can light in the shower. It was on for maybe half a day before it burnt out. And get this, I couldn't get the waterproof cover off nearly as easily as the electrician had shown me. When Mom and I looked at it we thought it looked like it was melted along with the interior of the can. We guessed the guy put in a too high wattage light. So we called them and they came and fixed it today. Guess what, it's only supposed to have a 40 watt lightbulb in it. And then the next let down, after the first showers we discovered that the glass door leaked. We called the glass people and they came out today and fixed that too. It took me all week to finally discover that the little rubber flap on the bottom of the door was not going inside the bottom lip of the threshold and was acting like a shower curtain on the outside of a bathtub. The water was running down and out onto the tiled stoop. So they cut that down and added a bit more caulking to some places we'd found that weren't sealed really well. So now that everything is fixed that should be it for the bathroom! Yea! Happy Birthday!

And on a lighter note I am totally psyched that Friday I get to go see New Moon!!!! I am still in love with the Twilight movies and I am even going to wear my Twilight T-shirt to work all day long in honor of New Moon. They all know I am crazy anyways so.... ;)
