Putting this here, lest I forget
Day 1: (evening) start tearing out tub/shower surround
Day 2: finish tub/shower surround tear out, clean up as best we can
Day 3: demolish and remove to curb (five minutes before the trash man
arrives, go MOM) the tile on long wall
Day 4: plumbing for shower roughed in (by a real honest-to-god
plumber), bathtub removed with sledgehamers and hauled to curb, rent
scaler to tear out floor, work about five hours on THAT
Day 5: finish tear out of floor, return rental. Wait for window guys.
And wait. And then wait for them to finish. Go to store, buy tub
(heavy ass tub), odds and ends. Treat lumber (studs) with antimold
spray, cut and install new fiberglass insulation.
One of those days we went and bought the fixtures, I think it was day 1 or 2.
Not shown because it was part of the planning process: numerous trips
to stores to plan what tile, order a new vanity and linen cabinet
(special order, they’ll be here hopefully before school starts), etc.
Also not shown: collapse into bed every night.
I’m working today, then this afternoon plumbers are coming to help us
install the heavy ass tub.
you my friend, are a rock star. move over Ty Pennington!!
oh, just a question: gone for a run this week? (ducking quickly to avoid the tile shards being thrown in my direction!!)
