This is all in the name of getting our kitchen finished before we go on vacation in just over a week and I want to take this moment to publicly announce that I feel a way (dread) about the fact that we’ve decided to do the tiling of our own backsplash on a wall that contains:

- two separate outlets of different sizes
- multiple corners

Send thoughts, prayers, or your favorite recipe for an unapologetically stiff drink.

Demolished the rest of the toilet cubicle, to get to the wall and window behind.

For some reason it was insulated with rockwool. Which had a nice stash of eaten kernels inside it.

The toilet was still functional, alas, I seem to have nudged it a little too much and the reservoir started leaking, so now that's taken to pieces, cleaned up and descaling over night. Had a lot of scale sludge in it. What fun. Did I mention I love plumbing?

Not sure why there is another door nailed to the logs behind, hope it's not hiding any nasty surprises. Will have to carefully peel that off, but not today.

Made a replacement toilet paper stand from attic scraps as there is now no wall 😆

Half a toilet cubicle with a toilet standing in it. A cable dangles from the ceiling and a ladder stands with a plastic tub to collect reclaimed screws.
Same place, now a side wall made from fake tiles painted onto some fake wood is peeled off, revealing a few cm of rockwool between battens. There's a hole in it near the top.
Close-up of three almond-sized kernels on the floor. Each has the tip bitten off and is hollowed out. Not sure what they were.
Same corner, with the toilet still standing but the flush reservoir slightly crooked. The cubicle is gone apart from the floor that the toilet is bolted to. There's a limewashed brick wall on one side and a wooden window in a log wall on the other. Part of the log wall has a green door panel nailed to it. On the side stands a quickly erected stand for a toilet paper roll and some other utensils, weighed down with a brick. Some bin bags collect various junk.

If I can brag about something stupid for just a second, I feel like I really nailed the knockdown texture matching on this little wall stub I added to balance a closet for a room remodel.

In prior drywall patching endeavors, I've not been able to get the exact right combination of joint compound consistency, air pressure, dry time before knockdown, and feathering, and the difference in island sizes was noticeable if you knew where to look.

New wall addition with sprayed on texture after paint. The original wall texture on the right is a very close match to the new construction on the left.
In progress construction photo of a small wall stub after being sprayed with a splatter pattern of joint compound.
