So we have had a little adventure the past couple of weeks. we have bee re-doing our bathroom, or at least part of it. It all started when we decided we would get a new faucet. That turned into needing new sheet rock on the showerhead side because the tiles had started to come off and so it was rotted and molded behind them. Then, we broke some tiles while taking them off so we decided that we would just replace the tile. Well that led to some bad sheet rock on the long wall so we had to replace some of it. That in turned led to getting a new tub because our old one got chipped in the process of taking out tile and sheet rock. You should know that who ever did the bathroom before us had just re-painted the tub and not re-finished it. Well getting the old tub out proved to be difficut since it turned out to be the original tub from the house, which means it was cast iron. So we (or I guess I should say Richard and a friend of ours) ended having to cut some sheet rock on the back wall as well as the wall by the toilet to get it out. And they amazingly got it out all by themselves, which is quite a miracle. It was very heavy I hear. So then when we went to put the new tub in it wasn't quite as wide as our other tub. So we ened up tearing all the sheet rock off the long wall and built out the wall so that we didn't have to re-do our floor. The after pictures will come later because when I left for Orgeon it still wasn't finished. The new sheet rock was up and the mudding started, but I didn't have picture of it. Cross your fingers that it will be done when I get home so that I don't have to live in chaos anymore.
Back when this was all we thought we would be doing.

Back when we just thought we would be replacing the tile, as well as the old tub.

After the tub finally came out. I think it took them like 4+ hours.

Notice how high the shower head it? Yes I do love me husband.

We have been in the EXACT same situation!!!! It stinks but it's great to have a nice bathroom when you're done!
I know, that is the only think keeping me going is how good it will look when it is finished.
wow! Does this mean Richard will come and help Chris do our remodeling when we can?
