Light at the End of the Tunnel

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and we are getting closer to finishing the bathroom remodel.  Our friend finished up his part on Thursday evening.  We definitely could not of done it without him!  We can now use the sink and toilet but are holding off on the shower/ tub until after the painting is done.  It will be less painful to wait, as to dealing with ripping a toddler and preschooler away from their new tub so soon. 

Anyway, a short walking tour of the "new" bathroom.  The floor is now a mossy brown tile instead of white stained vinyl flooring.  The sink faucet has been replaced with a taller model and we now have a drain stopper that works.  Our friend discovered why our sink was extremely slow to drain.  He found a razor cover and hairspray cap blocking the pipes.  For the record- I do not use hairspray, so it must of been there a while.  The new toilet has a taller base, uses less water, and the lid is a no slam lid. It is so much fun to watch.  Just close it a bit and watch it slowly close the rest of the way.  Of course the best feature is actually having a bathtub, no more walking in shower with doors that fall off the track.  A beautiful white tub of perfection!!!!  A double shower rod was installed.  The wood around the window has been replaced with plastic that looks like wood.  A privacy film has been added to the window.  And last but not least we have a bathroom light/ fan again.  I'm in heaven!







So what is left to do?  Just the painting!  My sister will paint the walls and ceiling for us, but first we have to finishing preparing the walls for the paint.  Easier said than done with two children running around.  I am going to make an outer fabric shower curtain and may be upgrade the garage can.
