The small bathroom has been gutted. The genesis for this project was the fact that the pan under the tile shower was leaking. Turns out there was good reason for that, there was no pan. Apparently 55 years ago they just slapped a very (and I mean very) thick layer of “mud” and laid tile on top of it. As a matter of fact the whole bathroom floor was unorthodox. Instead of just plywood over joists there is a kind of lathe over the plywood sub-floor that was then covered with an inch and a half of the same mud, then the tile on top of that.
The file uploading that I thought I had fixed yesterday is still giving me problems today. I found another workaround, but for some reason I didn’t need it tonight because after a couple of failed attempts to upload the picture, somehow it was there and usable. I guess I should have read the forums before upgrading, but it seems that before releasing 2.5 into the wild someone would have noticed that the media uploader wasn’t working right.
I also found a hack to take the place of the plugin I was using to keep the Joke category entries from showing up on the front page. I added a cute one today — The Golden Screw. In spite of the title, it is actually PG rated…
I forgot one item that should have been included in the Saturday Snippets post — A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted.
