Softball and Bathroom update

Am spending the weekend in Crystal Lake playing in one softball tournament on Saturday and another tournament on Sunday. Both tournaments are against teams in higher divisions than us. Our first game today we lost something like 18-7 to a team that was absolutely better than us. They had 8 guys at least who could hit a home run whenever they wanted to do it. The rules were different today, again, where you could hit 8 home runs without a penalty. These guys had a 14-7 lead in the seventh and the next four guys up hit solo home runs to make it 18-7 and induce the slaughter rule. They were good.

The next team we played was a level above us, but we beat them in 11 innings 11-9!! Normally our games are 7 innings, so it was like a game and a half!

It must have taken something out of us as we couldn't hit at all the next game. In fact, the other pitcher retired our first 13 hitters in a row!! That's right, a perfect game through 4 1/3 rd innings in softball!!! Unbelieveable. We ended up losing 8-1 to a team at our level....crap. I was 5 for 8 until the last game when I went 0 for 3 to put me sub-.500 on the day. Again, crap.

Time for an update on the bathroom!! Here are some pictures. Tile is the next thing for me to pick out.



The framed out window. Actually, there has been more progress than this too, so I need new pics!




















Another window picture.


















The main exhaust fan in the room. The glass block window is at the bottom of the picture so I guess I should have rotated it.

















This is the exhaust fan IN THE SHOWER! Very excited by it. Combined with the other exhaust fan, there shouldn't be any steam in the bathroom during a shower. AND the fan has a light attached.










Another picture of the shower exhaust fan.















Just a picture of the basic framing for future reference.












Oh, I DID have a picture of the more recent progress. The ceiling drywall is in and the exhaust soffit has been finished in this picture. So this is at the top of the glass block window.
