Bathroom Demolition - Learning Expirence #1

On to day two: Day two was a bit more "Fun". Knowing that I have to move the feed lines for the water i cut a hole in the floor. Then it was time to remove the old shower . This is where the "Learning Expirence" Started :) I removed all the sides no problem and then struggled a little with the base. When the base finally came out, I noticed that the drain pipe had broken. I had tried to remove the rubber gasket with a scredriver, but it didn't want to come loose. Apparently the pipe wanted to come loose instead. So now I get to do a little plumbing work at the start. Not a big deal really, just an added step.

Of course, being home by myself with the kids made this a little more difficult to resolve since I couldn't go to the store. When Rachelle got home, i went and found that neither Meijer or Wal-Mart had what I need.... It isn't a big deal really, just a broken drain. That pretty much prevents water use in our bathroom.

It will get repaired tonight, but put this one on the things learned list :)

Bathroom Demolition - Day 1

The first day of demolition went well. Not much to note except maybe the fact that Nolan was my helper. He was pretty excited to be able to help Daddy with a so-called Dirty Job. Any way the work went well, mostly just tore down the tiles, and then the closet shelves and paneling.

The Renovation is on...

We started our first real renovation last night. We tore down the tile and the closet in our upstairs hall bath... It currently has a shower only, so we are going to make it a bathtub for the kids. It is a real mess right now, I will try to add some photos soon.

Oh what fun this will be! Stay tuned for more details!
