Well the remodel continues but we are getting close to the end! Josie and I had a good time playing in our new tub before Joe and my dad installed it. The bathroom has been the biggest headache of this whole project, so getting a tub in, is a BIG deal!
Don't you love the gray and pink tile? Unfortunately it covers almost the entire bathroom so we decided to let it stay. We took the original tub out because the side had been cut down to a step so the older woman who used to live here could get in and out safely. Josie loved it, but I was not going to try bathing her in it so it had to go. Turns out there was a cast iron tub with an acrylic liner surrounding (basically two tubs one inside the other). The liner took a few days to pry out, and to remove the cast iron I spent a week chipping at the tile that lined so we could get it loose and then out came the sawzall! We took it out in pieces. I left putting the new tub in up to the men and they did a great job!

ReplyDeleteJoe, It looks like you are lifting that tub up with one hand!
