For the last couple of months, we’ve been working at remodeling our bathroom.\u00a0 Our awesome friend Greg, who also happens to be a carpenter, has done a huge amount of the work, and now\u00a0Jim and I are\u00a0at the point of putting down the backer board for the new tile floor.\u00a0 Since we only have the one bathroom, and since Jim and I only share one day off a week, progress has been bit slow, but that’s ok.\u00a0 I’ve actually gotten used to brushing my teeth at the kitchen sink, and it might be an adjustment to brush my teeth in the bathroom again.<\/p>\n

At any rate, I was talking to my sister Jean last night, and she asked me to start posting photos of our bathroom re-do progress here on my blog.\u00a0 What a great idea, I said, especially since my productivity on the blog has definitely been affected by the bathroom project.\u00a0 So for the next few days I’ll be posting a series of “before” photos, and then “during” photos, to get everyone up to speed on the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today’s photos are the full yuckiness of our bathroom prior to this renovation.\u00a0 We never, ever liked this bathroom (me more than Jim), partly because there was no room to move and partly because it was ill-thought-out and downright ugly in parts.\u00a0 After seven years of home ownership, we were finally forced into renovation action after the floor started to break apart and come up large pieces, causing a major trip hazard.\u00a0 Pictured below are the blechy floor, the moldy linen cabinet, and the odd corner medicine cabinet.\u00a0 Not pictured, unfortunately, are the nasty ugly (and probably not up to electrical code) lights over the sink.\u00a0 Click on images to enlarge:<\/p>\n
