Bathroom Update!

So, I know some of you have been wondering how the bathroom is going... and no, it's not done yet. Hence the word 'update' in the title. But it IS getting closer!

If you know the history of the bathroom, you know we've had to do a lot of re-work from some bad work done by the old contractor (which is why he's no longer our contractor). It's been a very tedious process, but we're kind of glad he left when he did because a lot of bad work would have been covered up with none the wiser... until something broke. Eric and I have become novice carpenters/framers, plumbers, and electricians over the past 6 months. Nothing we ever thought we'd do, but yet we did it. And we feel a lot better about our work than the work we replaced!

But we're finally getting past all that. We're finally getting to point where we're on track and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We can actually count the weekend until we'll be putting tile down on the floor! How exciting is that?? I'd take a picture and post it, but you really can't tell the progress or what really is going on. Beside, it's still kind of chaotic in there. But you'll have to take my word for it.

We do have one item, which we will hire a professional to do, that's outstanding before we can really start flying through our final tasks. And it's something we decided to do since it may be our only opportunity to do so... replace the sewer stack. Sounds glamorous, right? It runs down our back wall, which is opened up right now, and knowing that's it's decades old cast iron, it's probably just a good idea, at this point. Once that's done int he next week or so, we can close all the walls an floors up... and it's 'easy stuff' from there.

So I'll say it for record's sake... my goal is to be done by the end of September. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
