The old switches and plugs were almond, so I had to replace them. It also gives me a chance
to inspect the wiring.

I modernized them with wider toggles and a new GCFI outlet.

I placed the exhaust fan on a digital timer switch that allows you to turn the fan on for
10, 20, 30 or 60 minutes, or indefinitely.

Next, the excess paint is scraped from the window panes, and cleaned with window cleaner.

The repainted muntin bars are snapped into place.

The shower rod is installed. Instead of a tension bar (that always seems to fall over time), I went with
a decorative curtin rod and closet rod holders. I did this in a former house, and the wooden painted
bar held up very well, despite the humidity.

The cleats are powercoated metal, and I upgraded the screws to stainless steel.

The baseboard heaters are installed, as well as the quater-round shoe molding.

The molding is caulked. After a final coat of paint over the caulk lines, the molding will be done.
