Operation "Ugly Bathroom" Progresses at a Snail's Pace

 Before I start messing with my bathroom I wanted to take "before" pictures so that I have something to compare it to.

It has a blue-grey on off-white splashy paint job with a gold trimmed shower.  There is also light grey tile in the shower with dark red accent tiles.

                                 

I decided to start with the wall above.  I wiped it down and started to paint using a brush.  A brush is definitely not the right tool for the job.  I didn't bother to take an after photo because you can barely tell there is a coat of paint on it.  Next time I will break out the roller.  Even with the thin coat of paint it was an improvement though.  

Last week I decided to try to sprout some lentils for my quail.  The sprouting was very successful.  I cut up some extra tomatoes from the garden and served them on a plate.  I think the lentils were a hit but the tomatoes were not.  That is surprising.  The wild birds love to peck my tomatoes.  Perhaps my quail just need to get used to them.

Also, this weekend, I pried up the pavers on the side of the patio and arranged them between the patio and the garden.  What was left behind was a mess of dried and dormant weed grass.  This stuff has winding tendrils underground and is really hard to kill.  I worked on it until it was too hot.  It will definitely take me more that one attempt to get rid of it.

And here are the pavers.  I think I will move them close together.  Now I just need 100 more of them.

I tried to grow some grass in a pot for my dogs because they like nibbling on the weeds but it won't grow for me.  Maybe I should plant some of the weed grass in a pot.  

So, that was my weekend.  Just some trial and error.  No major events.  I didn't spend any money so that's a good thing.  5 days of work until a 3 day weekend!  I'm excited.
