Bathroom nearing the final stages

The guest bath is getting closer and closer to being done. I installed the handshower bar, the curved shower rod, and the lights. The handshower bar needed wood backing in order to be really secure to the wall. Unfortunately we didn't have any in place when they put up the cementboard so I had to cut a hole in the wall from the back. We decided to keep the light box where it's at. It's a little low but still looks fine.

You can see the hole here and one of the studs for the handshower bar.

Here you can see into the wall looking up towards the wall spout. There's another piece of wood for the upper handshower bar connection. If you look closely, you'll see water dripping down the wall. The plumber didn't connect the wall union correctly so there was water leaking inside the wall. If I hadn't cut open the wall to put the wood in, I would have never caught this leak. I can only imagine the amount of damage or mold that this would have caused.

I installed this fan timer so that you can have the fan running long after you've left.

Oooh, what a good idea! We need one of those timer thingies for our fan too. I'm always leaving it on and going back like 2 hours later to turn it off b/c I forgot I had it on.
