April 10, 2024, marked the beginning of the final and most challenging chapter - shower installation. Initially, I thought it would be a seamless process, but it presented opportunities for growth. Despite the kit being the same size as the original, we encountered challenges that sparked creative problem-solving. We successfully relocated plumbing, added studs, and addressed the uneven floor, ensuring proper drainage and a secure glass door. Through perseverance, the shower transformation exceeded expectations.

Before I get into the story of the shower's numerous complications, I wanted to mention we put the shed in it's final resting place. Had to build up the ground a bit to level and keep shed from getting flooded with water.

With spring's arrival, we decided to host a celebratory get-together at the place with our hiking friends, turning the incomplete shower into a minor detail amidst the excitement.

On 3/4/24, innovative solutions emerged during the wood deck phase. To address guest exposure to rain, I purchased and assembled an arbor with corrugated plastic covering, ensuring a dry and welcoming entrance. For outdoor dining, I opted to create a bar height seating area using scrap wood on the property, rather than purchasing a set. This creative approach allowed me to repurpose materials and bring my vision to life. Also shown in pictures is one of my helpers that would come visit me often. I named her Albi

February 16, 2024, marked significant progress on the deck project, with steady advancements despite a slower pace than anticipated. As the project neared completion, thoughtful additions like a horizontal wood slatted screen for enhanced privacy and a metal cover for protection were integrated. Also purchase and assembled an outdoor loveseat set.

CHAPTER 2. With a sense of self-sufficiency, I drove the renovation project forward, aided by a little help from friends now and then. Our initial deadline was March 1st, but I now targeted an April completion. Having laid the groundwork with deck plans and materials in November, I was ready to build. When the weather cooperated, my son had been staining the wood deck pieces. However, unexpected site conditions led to revisions. I opted for above-ground concrete pillars, enhancing stability, and eliminated plans for a partial cover, refining the design. Here are some pictures of the deck's evolution.

January 21, 2024, was a bittersweet day as my son returned to California, but the experiences we shared while working on our project will be cherished forever. I now look forward to diving into the creative process of decorating, building the deck, and installing the shower, excited to see the display of all our hard work.

1/16/24. As my son prepared to head back to California, we seized the opportunity to tap into his skills and tackle a range of tasks, from furniture assembly to curtain installation, TV mount, vent installation, kitchen cabinet fixtures, under sink plumbing, ceiling fans, etc. before he left.
