Chair Rail vs Sink

One of the problems with the sink we purchased is that it extends up beyond the chair rail that Tim had already installed.  He removed it before he began installing the support system behind the wall.  Unfortunately, he damaged it while removing it.

After Tim finished all the sink plumbing over the weekend, he "scribed" (is that the term I want?) the back of the sink, then transferred that to the chair rail.  He cut it to fit and dry fit it.  Once he saw that it was going to work, he fixed the nail holes from before and re-primed it.  One side was damaged enough that he had to do a completely new one.

On the left is how it will fit to the back of the sink.  Once that gets caulked, it should look great.  I actually think that having it fitted to the curve of the back of the sink will be different enough to make it look  -- well - more retro.  Maybe I'm deluding myself. 

The Fancy Car

Tim's work schedule kicked up a notch again, so he won't be able to get back to this little project until Friday.  Hey - that's why he drives the fancy car (with 190K miles on it). 

I'm hoping he gets a lot of the bathroom finished by the end of this weekend.  We've decided to take on a pseudo-border.  She is somebody that Tim worked with in a previous job who was just hired by his current organization.  She lives out of state and needs to sell her condo before she can move here.  In the meantime, she commutes to the corporate office here for about four days a month.  Staying here saves her money on hotel bills.  Since she's staying adjacent to the only full working bathroom in the house, we need this second bathroom finished... quickly!
