And So Begins the Bathroom Renovating
by Zia ~ March 11th, 2006. Filed under: House.We have a very haphazard approach to renovation. For instance, the kitchen floors are done (as of more than a year ago), but we have done nothing with the cabinets. Steve picked up spares from the last condo job he was on, and they’re sitting in the garage. But he has since decided not to use them because they’re odd sizes.
The bathroom is no different. We have a new sink — but the horrible blue tub and toilet are still there. At first, Steve said we would tile up to the tub, replacing the toilet and cabinet. Then we would replace the tub. I just said okay because first of all, what do I know about doing this stuff and second, it’s always just best to go along with it. Two weeks ago, he informed me that this was a backwards approach — we should start by replacing the tub and reinserting the window that was removed and covered with the awful plastic shower liner. One of his contractors gave him a freebie window … and my task today is to look for a tub.
Funny, because he’s off sailing.
So that’s what I’m doing.
