Wow! The holidays came and went so quickly!!! Hope everyone enjoyed time with family and friends. We certainly did...maybe a bit too much! Lots of good food and not enough physical activity has left us few pounds heavier. Well it is a new year and time to get back to some healthier habits!
Also time to get back to work on the house. It is week 41! Need to get this done!!!
The captain started on our bathroom. Since we had a working bathroom, we left this for 'later' and so the work resumed this week.
This is what it looked like when we bought the house.
It was small and a tight fit between commode and shower. And we did not like the layout. So we gutted the room completely sometime late spring of last year.
Yuck, I can tell you that was a nasty job.
Then my fixer upper man enlarged the bathroom by removing the pass thru from the back room (which is now our dining room) to our bedroom. New dry wall was added, and we installed our extra long, extra deep bathtub. Both of us are tall and wanted to be able to stretch out in our tub, so it was special ordered and had to have extra support reinforced under the house to assure it would not fall through the floor when filled with water and us 😌 We can't wait to get into that thing and relax with a soaking hot bath!!!
Existing dry wall was repaired and some new dry wall was installed. Next...paint on the window trim and the walls.
The bathroom was then left alone so we could work on more pressing projects...but this week the bathroom project work is back in full swing.
The captain is working on tiling the wall around the tub and on the floor. I must say, I am very pleased with his work.
Looking good so far.
If all goes well, we should be able to have a fully functional bath in less than 2 weeks. Will keep you posted!!!
Until next time...
Enjoy!
