Bathroom

The bathroom is probably the room that we have done the most work. One of the first things I noticed about the bathroom was the very dinky tub and shower. I love taking baths so this tub was just not going to do. The other problem with the bathroom was the fact that there was a wood frame window in the middle of the shower. Paul and I assumed this would cause problems later with rotting. We ended up taking out the tub and shower. Paul also took out the half wall in the bathroom where the shower plumbing ran. (He loves demolition.) We had to take out parts of the floor and pour new concrete. Paul and his dad also worked very hard to level the bathroom floor for the new tile. We bought a claw foot tub from another rehabber. Paul, Brian, and Steve carried the tub upstairs. Paul and I had to strip as much of the old paint off the outside of the tub and repainted it white. We also sprayed the feet chrome. Paul and his dad added the shower attachment and now the window is not a problem. There had been a textured finish on the upper half of the walls at some point but it was no longer consistent. Paul and I retextured the walls and ceiling, which was a very messy process. My mom, sister, and I painted the walls green and repainted all the woodwork. Mama and I also hung the new towel racks and glass shelf. The bathroom is basically done now except for a few small tasks.
