This is Looong Overdue
The bathroom on our main level was terrible. Ok, it was usable, but it wasn't nice. Curling linoleum, a shower with walls that no amount of caulking could keep together, and a sink that always looked dirty. About four months ago the father of my best friend, Emily, came to our house to help us renovate. What was supposed to be a couple of days turned into a week as the project ended up being much bigger than we thought. The ceiling and walls were stripped to the studs and all new drywall installed; the water pipes moved from the outside wall to the inside wall (no more freezing pipes in the winter!); a new ventilation system (as the old one just vented into the ceiling, not so much outside); a new sink and new shower base (that wouldn't give as you showered); tiled shower walls and a tiled floor. We also raised the shower head so that Art would no longer have to bend over to wash his head. After a few blowups and a thrown hammer the bathroom was beautiful. We have been so busy that we finally got the last pieces of trim on. I don't have any before pictures, but believe me when I say it was not attractive.
