While reading through the shower tray installation instructions, it mentioned having enough support for attaching shower doors. Humm.. so I guess we need more framing on the two sides of the shower stall where the doors would go. So this past weekend Steve added MORE framing to this area, while I sat bundled up on a chair and was trying to keep him company (wasn't very well that day). He also put up the first piece of vapour barrier in the shower stall. Fingers and toes crossed we are done with framing!

The image above is the "not so crazy" wall - we had to shorten the wall by 2 inches and double up the studs on the end.

The wall on the other side was crazy - two mistakes made this wall really complicated.

On a lighter note, I found this cool ground cover displayed at the garden expo. It was a paving/hardscaping display so it didn't have any information about what it was, but I liked it so I took a picture of the "little green tuft".

At the garden expo, we bought some stripy beet seeds, some bloodroot tubers and a book by our favorite gardener, Terry Hollembaek. The book is called "Inside Out Gardening" (ISBN 0977748804), and is a great little philosophical guide for the "kill your lawn" types out there. If you want to spend more time actually enjoying your yard instead of smelling like gasoline, this book is for you.
Currently, the book is available at the author's website at http://www.prairieherbs.com/
I read half the book in one evening, and it's already turning my gardening philosophy "inside out". This year, I'm committed to leaving a bit of the "back 40" grow wild, and probably a bit of the front too. I'm also going to finally get my truck on the road and pick up as much free mulch as I can haul, then bury the grass with it. Goodbye lawn!
