Comment on Shelter from the Storm: Our Half-Bath Safe Room

I am quite impressed with the structure of the room, i think its a matter of fact that is the biggest danger is flying debris, wood, glass, sharp objects flying 200 mph! Still very nice post and exciting too.

Shan, thanks for your comment - probably the last ever on this blog! I've moved to http://simmertilldone.com. As to the vanity, we haven't yet, but are going to top it with a very light polyurethane-type coating - not sticky, very clear and good for a "wet" room. So far it's holding up fine. Good luck with your project!

Nice job! I'm trying to do the same thing. Did you do anything to the wood to protect it from water? How is the area next to the sink holding up?

Thanks, Kathy!

Funny that you should ask about a microwave - we don't have one yet. We were planning to put a new one in, and it's taken forever to get the cabinet-microwave combo right - and you know what? I'll do a post about it. For the most part I don't mind living without one - but heating up leftovers is definitely a problem.

If you press alt 0176 (hold alt while putting in numbers 0176) you'll get the degree symbol as in 350°

Just curious, do you have a microwave? I don't recall seeing one in your beautiful kitchen.

ooohhhh I asked Santa for a madeleine tin last Christmas. I haven't umm, made them yet. Oops.

Can you do a reverse "welcome wagon" and leave a box of cookies on their doorstep and letting them know you're new to the hood?

Yeah, they're not the best - an amateur stalker can only do so much.
