Putting humpty dumpty back together again...


The bathroom was a hundred years of nasty. The brown carpet was the first to go when we finally got the keys to our little house. Putting the bathroom back together has been a long and expensive process that has spanned the time we moved in last spring to now... a year later. We have gone without showers, baths, and toilets... and in the beginning a floor. When we were doing our roof last summer, we also had no gyp board in the bathroom, so I could take a bath(no shower) looking out into the clear blue sky. If I wanted to bathe, I yelled up on the roof to my brother in laws, and all the other men to stay on the SOUTH side, because I was taking a bath.

This is our tub now. We have re-enclosed it in a new box. The tub itself has been refinished. Our bath hardware is fabulous. The shower head is a generous 10" diameter. The shower rod is 32" wide x 54" long. We still have quite a bit of work to do in the bathroom. The flat walls need to be touched up. The window trim still isn't finished, and the floor has yet to be grouted. But we need to keep moving on to more pressing projects. The house needs to be painted and we need fencing.
