Bathroom Demolition Days 2 through...well, let's call it Day 6

Before one can have a new bathroom, the old must be removed. Returning to our former renovation glories, progress on our main bathroom continues!

Construction will most likely be on hold for a week, as next week is concert week.

On the plus side, we have heard from the insurance company about the water damage, so that will certainly help with our progress.

Demolition Day 1

Friday night the demolition of our main bathroom with the removal of the shower pan. The verdict is out on the actual age of the shower pan, but we do know a few things:

1. It was installed more than 30 years ago, likely a project in the 70s.
2. It has been leaking for quite some time.
3. Water can do some damage.

However, this is all signs of progress, and it means the long time storage of a pallet and a half of marble may soon be over. Yahoo!

The bathroom remodel begins

A long, long time ago we bought a house that we thought would have a few fixer upper projects.

Ha.

A long time ago, we bought marble because some day we might remodel our main bathroom.

A not so long time ago, someone thought that they could unclog a simple shower drain.

Unclogging a drain in our house is never simple or fast.

And now, because of a simple clog, we must remodel our entire bathroom. The adventure begins tomorrow, and on the plus side, we will no longer be storing a pallet of marble in our house.

Now, to make some important decisions before they begin the demolition tomorrow.

The home remodeling continues!

It's true. Just because we finished the kitchen remodel, does not mean that we have ended the quest to remodel our entire home.

For example, a few weeks ago, I left for work and there was a double divided light window in the garage room (it will have a better name eventually - honest!)



The view of the garage room window when I left for work that day...


A few short hours later, the project was finished. :)


I'm assured that yes, it was really as easy as that. Ok, most likely not - I've seen the pile of debris that the project created and the receipts from Home Depot.


This project marked the beginning of our exterior renovations.

In the next edition of the White's "This Old House", the siding gets replaced!

Yahooo!

The Cabinet Doors are being hung, the cabinet doors are being hung, the cabinet doors are being hung!

Can you tell I'm a bit excited? It's because I am! Yahoo!!!


The cabinet doors have been painted over the course of the past few days. This is the paint booth that was erected in our back yard that made it possible for the process to be complete in spite of all of the wind we have had in these parts.



Soon all we will lack are the door knobs and drawer pulls. If only I would have ordered those sooner! My bad!
