The Bathroom: Weeks 2-3

I've been side tracked and haven't downloaded photos in a while of the bathroom, which is moving along nicely. My dad thinks it's moving too slow, but we're okay with it. Although the toilet is now gone so that might change things ...

We haven't lived with one bathroom since we moved out of the condo in January 05. One of the reasons for the move? One bathroom is not enough if there are more than One bladder occupying the household. You know how they say that women who live together start to get their periods at the same time? Well, Matt and I are starting to have the same bathroom schedules. Last week I was hanging outside the occupied bathroom door like a mexican jumping bean...

This is how the shower currently looks. The structure is complete and my dad even changed out all the pipes to new copper plumbing. All that it needs now is the tile (which my dad is still complaining about the pebbles).

This is the wall where the sink was. The plumbing got shifted and upgraded. Also, we moved some electrical outlets and the main junction box that was at the top of the right-hand wall. We also removed the piece of drywall where hidden underneath were some florescent tube lights. This area is now all drywalled up as of tonight.

The tile floor pulled off easily, and the old sink and toilet are now sitting in the garage (another winter our cars won't get garage space!) The new vanity/sink/faucet was delivered this morning; it's just sitting in the garage waiting to be brought in (hopefully tonight since it's like 25 degrees outside).

And right now we're researching toilets. We were initially not going to replace the toilet, but we know it's not water efficient and with everything else new, it's be nice to have a new throne as well. Right now we're eyeing this fancy piece of waste-hauling machinery. Shweet.
