Now, we do have a second bathroom in our suite in the basement.  But the main bathroom has been sprouting some mould lately.  We have tried enzymes and scrub downs.  To no avail.

So, this weekend I sanded the shower area.  Found that the mould only went as far as the top coat of paint.  Was very thankful. 

Then, I filled in some cracks/holes.  Covered this with plaster.  Found that the plaster job was actually fairly good – my usual phenomenon is not quite so good!  Placed a coat of primer over the plaster, two coats of paint on the wall and now we have a whole new shower area.

Tomorrow morning will be “try out” time.  With no mould growing on the wall!

Our other bathroom?  In good shape – and I hope it stays that way!

A month ago I bought a book.  By Daniel Pink called DRIVE. 

The subject:  What motivates us?

Great read – if you can pick up the book, do so.  If not, take a look at this “animation” that summarizes thoughts from the book.  We used to call this the “Coles” version – but now that you can get it in video form I guess it would be the “VColes” version.  Anyways, this out.
