Pictures on left are of the demolition.
We emptied the bathroom of all the shampoos, soaps, toothbrushes, unmentionables, hair products and more. I'm thinking though, that if I've had something since high school that I havent used, that perhaps now in my fifties it might be okay to get rid of it. But most of the items I put in boxes in my study and hope that my daughter will go through them with me next week when she comes to visit. (I'm sure she's thinking right now "WOW visiting my family - cant wait to go through bathroom in-sundries.")
The sink seems to be from 1993. The vanity was from the late sixties and cost the then owners $68.88. Both are out in front for the garbage staff. The toilet is the next thing to go, but we're probably reusing it, so it will sit outside the house for the next 3 or 4 weeks. Isnt that a pretty site? OOPS! Toilet heavy. Toilet broke. Guess we're buying a new toilet too. We'll pretend we did it intentionally so that we can be green. Or we can save the tank so that there's enough water so the poo goes down. We've got the toilet on the side of the house (bet my neighbors are thrilled!)
Anyone else wondering how a marriage makes out when the renovation is done by the husband who happens to be a professional contractor? So far so good. Then again this is only Day Two. Apparently you get rid of the old tile floor by using a sledge hammer and banging as hard as yo can. Ahhhh. So its not how the marriage makes out -- its how the young adult man living in the basement is going to survive the banging. Usually contractors do their work during the day when no one is home, now I know why. But my contractor, fortunately has a day job, so this work will happen at night. (That handsome guy banging the heck out of the floor is my husband, the contractor.)
When banging on the floor it seems that crap comes out of the ceiling in the basement. Considering someone lives down there -- not a good thing. But construction means demolition and demolition means mess. And mess means dust all over.
Contractor (aka husband) finished his 3 hours of work in the bathroom for day two.
