Bathroom Reno Begins...

We have design ideas

We don't know if they are good ideas

Throwing caution to the wind, we acted on the demolition ourselves...

Last week, I decided I'd had enough of the carpet in the bedroom and started pulling it up.

This weekend it was work on the shower tiles or clean the attic.  The Big Guy chose the shower.

We weren't ready for the shower door that took aim for my left cheek!  It was scary, but all is well with just a little cut and a bruise.

 Once the door fell out, all the other glass and trim came out w/o a problem.

The internet videos show the tile removal as a simple task.  In reality, it is hard work and lots of muscle.

All I can hear is pounding.  He's about done with the back wall and one of the side walls.  There is lots of curiosity to see what it looks like behind the backer board.  Fortunately, we have another full bath right around the corner from our bedroom.  A challenge we have is disposal.  The tiles are heavy.  We can't dump them in the trash can or the auto machine won't be able to lift it.  It is adventurous and exciting all at once.

Worst case, we will have to call in reinforcements!
