"Project Nightmare".....


Here's what I can show you before the project began. You really don't want to see the tub and walls..trust me!

After Steve ripped off the tub enclosure walls

Here he is wondering how he is ever gonna get that out of the 2nd story bathroom! Yes, that would be a jack lifting the tub.




This is a picture of the bottom of the tub, so you can get a view of the thickness we were dealing with! She is about 500-600 lbs...she makes me feel skinny~! Solid Cast Iron Baby! Original tub put in our 1935 house!
This would be after they took down the plaster that was behind the shower walls. Now, I have a perfectly dusted house! There is a fine coat on everything! blinds, curtains, chairs, tables, fans, lamps shades, counters.....

Oops...I'm suppose to be focusing on the end goal...right???
BTW..some of you might be wondering how we have showered since Friday when the project began. Well...Steve has gotten it to various stages that allowed him to hang plastic drop cloths covering the walls, which were draped into the tub. perfect!

Looks like we are doing the same project at the same time! I bet you win at getting it done first! Mark only works on it during weekends in between all of our other obligations and with him sick all last weekend and this week, looks like I'll need a little more patience! Look forward to seeing yours done. Are you tiling around the tub or putting in a surround? We are going with subway tile around the tub.
