A toilet wax ring!!! Well...and a new bathroom to go with it.
Happy Mother's Day!
Our newly painted cabinets and mirror with new countertop and backsplash. I have managed to patch and paint since this picture was taken. And yes, we got rid of our lovely 80's light!
Me, grouting the shower.
Starting the project.
What we thought would just be a cosmetic makeover of our master bathroom of replacing our lovely light blue tiles with wildflowers and vinyl flooring, turned into a major remodeling job. We ended up having to rip the shower out down to the studs and sub-floor. After 5 trips to Home Depot that saturday and Cody renting a hammer drill to rip out the cement floor, we started building it back up again. Now, a week later, we are closer to being finished but not soon enough. Cody leaves to go out of town tomorrow and doesn't come home until Sunday night. Then he will leave again monday until wednesday or thursday, so I might have a finished shower in a week and a half! We tried really hard to get it all done in time for him to be out of town, but realized we wouldn't make the deadline. Needless to say, I had a mini-meltdown! But I have rallied and I will go forth and make the best of it until he comes home to finish things up. We did get the floor done and the toilet back in, so thank heavens for that miracle. I am so excited to finally have this remodel finished! When we bought our house, this was one of the things on our list we knew we needed to change. 14 years later it is now a reality. Word to the wise--check all your grout for cracks and all your caulk to make sure everything is sealed. When we moved in our shower was missing a lot of the grout so we just re-grouted our shower, not thinking anything of it. Now we know we should have ripped it out then because of the water damage. Lesson learned!
This project has really made me appreciate my husband and the skills he possesses. He can do any construction project I drag him into! He was not too excited for this project...his motto is, if it ain't broke, why fix it? What's wrong with light blue tiles with wildflowers on them? But he did it for me because he loves me. He is a great guy who takes such good care of me. And, most importantly, he is sexy in his toolbelt! Thanks baby for the new bathroom!
