Well, maybe not the biggest news to post, but all surfaces (sheetrock and tile backer) for the upstairs bathroom walls and floor are now done, ready for the next step of taping and filling to their finished state. Almost all surfaces are new. The ceiling (except over the tub) and small portions of two walls are original. The toilet flange was marginal for height (had considered adding a 1/4-in backer board layer on top of the 1/2-in already installed). I did a test install, to see if that was needed, and it wasn't, which saved some work. Our new Toto toilet uses an unusual (to me at least) way of mounting. It uses an 'adapter' that mounts to the floor and the floor flange, and then the toilet mounts to that. My test install was installing the adapter, to make sure it would seat on the floor (layed loose tile down) and seal properly with a wax ring. Oh, my, the details!

Sounds like you are making good progress, despite all the details. Boy, won't be exciting when you finally get to the finish line!
