Our "to do" list is almost empty. The electrician got the problem lights and outlets working. The bathroom is usable and we've "moved in". As of labor day the list stands at:

• Receive/install missing light fixtures
• Receive/install proper plumbing fixture handles
• Add silicone sealant where needed
• Drill mounting holes for one cabinet shelf
• Shorten and install one cabinet shelf
• Patch hole in wall near heating duct
• Replace marred wallpaper by bathroom door
• Replace faulty shower handle
• Replace faulty make-up mirror
• Final inspection

The list now stands at:

• Replace faulty shower handle
• Replace faulty make-up mirror
• Final inspection

The toilet paper dispenser finally arrived and was installed. It matches the hand towel holders. We were able to clean up the marked wall paper with kerosene and acetone. The wall was somewhat empty. Mitsuko suggested that one of the pictures that used to hang in the bathroom would look good there. She was correct.

The smoke detector and curtain trim was installed. The bedroom is now back to its before re-modeling state.

The remaining electrical fixtures were installed. They look good. At the same time the junction box under the sink was covered. That does it for the electrical.

The last cabinet shelf was shortened and installed after the peg holes were drilled into the box hiding the electrical switch box. The room is now ready for final inspection. It's been scheduled.
