it was meant to be the first thing we did, but we grew accustomed to the pink and tan charm, the wooden seat and the stained linoleum floor. we also got distracted by basements and a myriad of other odds and ends. i pictured this being relatively low impact, and i never planned to gut the whole rig. just pull the shower, toilet, vanity and floor, no big deal... after finding a little mold in the drywall and not being terribly confident about creative wiring solutions or drywall cutting, i decided to pull the walls and ceiling out. 2 days of demo later, and lots of cleaning, it's ready for re-assembly.
what was
demo really is fun (once a year, in a small bathroom). while wedging the old tub out i levered it against the plumbing and had a bit of a leak/spraydown. otherwise it was relatively smooth sailing.
bones
the beginning of what will be (had a little help to lift the 250 lb cast iron tub into place)
now i have 7 days to get the walls back up, the flooring in and the toilet re-installed before j gets back from field work. no fun going downstairs to use the bathroom multiple times in the night...
