Well?

.
.
I'm not moving fast or well.  On the other hand, I am not in pain, drained, stretched, pushed, or fried.  Mostly.  I think I might get to some things even yet.

While I have been thinking on things, for the bathroom, the plank floating vanity has been the real stickler.  I haven't been able to find a good example.  Finally, this evening, I found something that... is as close as I have seen... other than in pictures.  This is a diy video.  Now, it isn't exact.  I am thinking along the lines of two planks, unconnected.  As well, at least in theory, I would love to have the planks double that thickness, or more.  As I might have mentioned, however, that may not be practical or affordable.  More, I would like them to be a glossy black.  I don't think I could afford that thick of planks of ebony woods, and am not sure there is any type of black wood which would actually polish up.  I suppose their are coatings.  Still, probably out of my price range... without serious scrimping.

The idea, really, is to have two planks, parallel, of equal length and thickness, one below for towels and sundry, the top for general use plus the sink and faucet.  I suppose I could create a box, with miter cuts.  I can't swear my circular saw, or me using it, can provide the 45 degree cuts needed to make a hidden faux think plank from better grades of plywood.  It is possible, if I go slow, practice, and am willing to lose until I win/learn.  I... wouldn't mind so much.

The planning is coming closer.  What needs to come out, what needs to go in, techniques, materials, and most other things.  Still, I need a few more tools (to my mind).  I need to make the purchases for several of these things.  I will, in that very small room, go with an exceedingly bright white.  It truly needs it, being a pocket room with one small window that, at the best, only gets dim light even on the brightest days.  Something about a bright bathroom... to me... more so since I wish to use such a dark flooring and woodwork... though I may end up moderating everything?  I have time... I'll be thinking on it.  I wish I could see a mock up, even digital...  Perhaps I can run colors off and set them in places to get some notion... rather inexpensively, or even nearly freely, if I beg, borrow, and... well... I'll not steal.  Not in a literal way.

Oh, I best get the trash together, and cat litter going.  Then reset the dishes if needed.  Plus get some business ready and going.  Later.
