When we moved into the condo we knew we wanted to tear out the old bathtub and toilet, but we had other rooms to get done first. We had a new marble countertop installed, but now it was time to do some major remodeling. First you have to go out with the old, which was not that easy. I had to cut the old one piece tub into two or three pieces to get it out the door. Sorry no pictures – I just wanted to “get it done.”
Then my helper came in and cleaned up after me so we could get ready to install the new bathtub and surround.
This tub did not go in as easy as it looks. If it were even an 1/8” longer it would not have fit, but after some scratching of our heads and some pushing and pulling it dropped right into place like it was made to go there. The neat thing about this tub and surround is that we had picked it out at Lowes because it has a rope decoration which does not really show up on these pictures, but at the time we were not ready to purchase it yet. Well, one time when Christi was at Lowe’s for something else she just happen to walk by this department and they had “our” tub and surround sitting out on the floor and had a floor model price tag on it and so she called me as asked if we should purchase it that day as it was 75% less then what we would have had to pay for it. So we purchased it that day and stored in our garage until we started this project.
Drywall installed and mud work done and ready for Dale to paint.
Dale had to put new baseboard and molding down as we had new flooring installed.
And time to hang the new shower curtain rod. We are getting close!!!!!
This needed a women’s touch.
The bathroom is completely done and it seemed so nice to not have to run downstairs to use the bathroom as this project took us about two weeks, but we are both thrilled how it turned out.
Our next blog will be how we turned what originally was the laundry closet into a pantry. So for now thanks for following our fun projects.
Dale & Christi.
