"Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the
opposing miseries of summer and winter."

The Joys of Remodeling

 It has begun!!  Here is the Before...
 The awesome old flooring.  Notice the lovely hole in the middle where my dog decided she was hungry and ate it.  I think she secretly knew how much I did not like it.
 The lovely shower.  Originally we were not going to do anything with this but of course we changed our minds.  I was the major driving force behind this one.  I really just wasn't digging the grey, green, and white look.
 The vanity.  We originally were only going to changed the top but it was glued to the base and we couldn't get it apart.  That means... New vanity coming soon!
 Toilet.  Nothing really wrong with this but we got a new one. 
 This tub was so gross!  It always looked dirty no matter how much we scrubbed it.  We were just going to refinish it to get rid of the awesome chips but to save time and hassel we bought a new one.
 Demolition!  The old tile was glued right to the drywall so you can see what happened as we took it down.
 All stripped down
 This is what the bathroom looked like at the end of Day 1.  Ready for some tile! 
 Day 2 was full of progress.  Floor done and ready for grout.
Shower mostly done.  The boys have worked their butts off and it all looks really good.  I am excited to get the finishing touches done and have my bathroom back!

  2. I will be so excited when it is done so Roy and I will stop getting licks from Master Amy's whip!!!! It is funny that Roy and I thought we could do the whole job in five hours. Wow are we full of ourselves or what. We are into it two 15 hour days already and still not done. Obviously we don't live in reality.
