We have been stalling on some bathroom work for too long. I announced this morning that I was going to start gutting the shower. Kevin sighed. The best way to get him going on a project is for me to start it.
Don't get me wrong, if I start it, I will do all I can. I just can't do certain things like hanging sheetrock or anything involving strength. I'm not afraid of work, though, and will do all I can. I hand him drywall screws and clean up the mess when he's doing something I can't do. He's not afraid of the work, either, he just needs something to get him going.
As I type this, he is gone on an errand with Dad, picking up a weight machine for Dad to use in the shop instead of the free-weights he's been working out with. While they're gone, Kevin will get some more construction adhesive. We underestimated that one. We both needed a break, anyway.
I'll have to shower in the disgusting, old, dungeon like bathr.....errr, I mean, Brett's shower tomorrow. I'll need some disinfectant first. Hopefully, though, I can bathe in the midst of the new shower insert (that we've owned for a couple of months...in a box...in the guest room) on Tuesday morning. The adhesive needs to dry for 24 hours. I'll be glad when this job is DONE!
I guess it won't be done. I still have to tear down the rest of the tile in there, paint the bathroom, put up some border, paint the ceiling, do something about the floor vent....SHEESH! I'm tired. It's a good thing we have such a tiny bathroom.

Looks like you all are doing a fab job. We have yet to tackle a major project like that. We want to stay married. ;)
Due to some corprate advertising, I would say a particular company flashed in the above pics owes you some money.

Not only is it funny that he wore that shirt, I took great pains to NOT mention that company in a previous entry. oops? Not really. Heck with 'em!
I can't wait to see what it looks like when you're all done. I know it's a lot of work. I had to replace a whole shower stall, do the floor, and repaint,and tile a couple of years ago. Like you, I couldn't do things that required physical strength. It'll be worth it when it's all done.

I should send you pics from mine. It was a long long tedious ordeal but the end result was soooo pretty....

Wow! I'm impressed!! - Barbara
Hi there. Your tile is the same color as mine. It's a good thing I like the color. LOL. I still have mine. We had bathfitters come in and redo the tub and walls surrounding the immediate tub area and we painted the other walls and have been happy with it. Of course we had to forego last years vacation to finance it. But choices are just that. I was thinking yesterday how nice it was to enjoy the new bath and that it had been exactly a year ago. Good luck as that sounds like a complete remodel job.
