More progress
I just hung a ceiling fan above the tub this evening and I have also gotten the ceiling in the shower tiled. I have also put in the shower pan and that was WAY more of a pain in the arse than i expected but I finally got the floor properly sloped down to the drain. Don't have pictures of those yet.
I ordered a bidet toilet. I've never even used one, but I haven't heard anyone say that they've regretted getting one so we'll give it a whirl.
Next step is to finish tiling the shower. Install the toilet that should arrive tomorrow. All that will be left in the bathroom is to build the vanity.
In the guest house, I haven't done much. The next step in there is to buff the floor which I haven't really found what I believe are the correct steps. I believe I need to grind the surface layer of the concrete, thoroughly clean all the debris off the surface then apply an epoxy clear coat to the concrete. I did work several colors of stain into the concrete when we poured it so it should have somewhat of a marbled color when it is done.
I'm considering going ahead and getting 3 or 400 foot of alder to get started on the vanity for the bathroom and the cabinets for the kitchen area.

I have never seen a shop with such nice finishes on the living area.
Is it going to look nicer than your house?

My house is probably about as nice. I don't have any bidet toilets in the house, and we don't have a tub in the house at all. The wife likes to take baths frequently. We do have a huge walk in shower in the master and a good number of showerheads.
But, my goal at the onset, was to finish it out nicer than my house. Since I'm doing all the work, I've learned that the finish-out is only marginally more expensive for materials. For example, I think I paid $2k for the shiplap ceiling material. It would have cost me around $800 for sheetrock. But the effort to install and make it look good is what a contractor is charging a lot more for. And rightfully so.
