Today’s project: build a bathroom wall cabinet, or medicine cabinet. Most such cabinets are either too ugly or too expensive, so I’ve decided to build my own for the downstairs bathroom. After all, it’s Labor Day.

The VanDorstens fix a house to build a home.

Built the box, put a back on it, framed it Shaker style (ish). Poplar worked nicely.
Here’s the door - Shakeresque framing with pine wainscoting. Also matches the vanity doors.
A couple coats of matte white…
The final product!
Way better than a gaping hole in the wall.

Started grouting the master bathroom shower.

Got FIOS installed earlier this year, but the installation guys were lazy - to save time, they patched in to some of the previous wiring and apparently ran a length of the coaxial cable outside of the wall. Tacky.
So today, I fixed that - ran a cable plus ethernet hardline from my office (upstairs) to the family room (downstairs). Have the FIOS wireless router downstairs, connected to the hardline, going upstairs to an Apple Airport Extreme, which is serving as a signal booster/upstairs router. Great wireless coverage anywhere in the house - the ultimate in nerd luxury.
