2 weeks, but we are going in for a quick no doctor blood test to check the status of his anemia in 3 days, or sooner if he gets lethargic again.

And if his poops are tarry after 2 days or he starts mouth bleeding again I am gonna have to bring him to a different emergency clinic...
Watch his gums hun. The whiter our gums the lower his hemoglobin, works for you too. :hug:

This is about as far as I can go with the original tiles, and the ones I ordered are still on a dock in Texas...Ugh! They were supposed to be here by tomorrow. I know they won't match perfect, and that's why I am trying to keep them low and out of sight. I was originally going to blend whites in, but decided on attempting to match it.

But yeah, easy, peasey!! The prep was the hard part, repairing the wall.
I hear ya, I didn't get a pic of the backer board in place, but here's the tiling all done. I'm pretty sure I wasted a day smoking weed and farting around on here, so I put down the joint and logged off today. Once this is all done I'm probably going to have someone come and do an enamel re-finish on the tub. The last guy I paid, I went WAY too cheap and it started chipping off the tub within a month. Then it got three wall repair jobs to make it worse. It looks like I'm going to have to dremmel out a little bit around the handle, the tile just slightly covered the screw hole for the cover. Other than that I'm reasonably happy with it. Cleanup, dremmel shaving, grout, seal, caulk. Should be done by Sunday after letting each dry.

Thank you. This house has given me more practice than I ever wanted at pretty much all interior repair tasks. From drywall to plumbing to tiling, I've gotten somewhat decent at all of them out of necessity, 13 years ago I was an apartment dweller who couldn't have told the difference between a hack saw and a miter saw.

Heh, I even did a small 6 sq foot epoxy resin floor in my grow closet. It's going to be bitter-sweet if we ever move because that will probably mean I've fixed all the things and it's time to get the hell out before something else goes.

Those spacers are such a good thing.
