Menage à Trois Bingo

Update on the Workbench Dilemma: It
turns out the measurements of the studio were slightly off in our favor.
It's at least 9 1/2 feet wide. The hardest thing about getting the
workbench top in was actually the turn at the bottom of the basement
stairs. It went into the studio just nice.

We took the legs off first and carried them in with no problems. Then
the top, what had been our main concern. We had to put it up into the
crawl space under the porch to get it to turn through the basement door,
but after that we had no difficulties. It's all set up now, and a cork
layer applied to the top.

And on the project as a whole? It's finally a bathroom! (Only six weeks
late...) There's still some finish work (a little painting, the window
trim) to be done but Tammie and I had the very first bath in the new
bathtub yesterday. It's ginormous: wide enough to sit crosslegged
sideways, long enough to lay down nearly flat, and capacious enough for
both of us to be comfortable.

The only remaining problem? Not enough hot water to fill it! *arrgh* We
turned the hot water heater all the way up to see how much difference
that will make; we'll find out next time. But it looks like a new (or
additional) water heater may be in the cards.
