Remodel Headaches...

 
BEFORE, Same tile floor to ceiling...and the Jacuzzi had to go.
 
                 
                                         Demolition...Dusty process.                                   

 
He took 10 hours just to work the Herringbone pattern...but I really like it.
 
                                                   
                                                          Floor tile finally layed...


                                                        Dusty film on it from grout.


 Finished!  Nice new vanity and painted walls.  Looks larger now and more vanity space, which I love!
                                                        
         Hand held shower feature...The bathroom is still in disarray and I'm still in the process of moving things in and out...like into the trash!  The crap we humans accumulate!!  Larry was elected to install the plumbing fixtures since it was Friday and a Union holiday for our plumbers because of the Fourth of July holiday...Thank You Honey!!!


                                                                      Vanity granite


                 I made cake during the two week remodel...yep....


And Larry made...ready?   Pork Fatty.  It's a roulade filled with celery, rice, mushrooms, onion, bell pepper...roll it up and wrap with bacon and then put on the pit.  Wonderful.

Monday, I have to stay home AGAIN and wait for new furniture to be delivered.  The old living room set, we gave to Larry's 2nd cousin...he's just moved into a house and didn't have much in the way of furnishings.  I think what we gave him filled up his living room.
Remodeling took two weeks and I could only sneak into the office a few times to do the payroll and get bills paid, invoices entered etc.  It's been busy and yet not busy...waiting and waiting.  But it's done now.  Hand bar installed, smaller and shorter tub...looks like I'm ready for old age...at least in the bath area.
Oh, and remember all the kitties??  All gone! HUGE SIGH!   Two were given to one of the Mexican workers who brought his WHOLE family to the house to get them!Hahaaa...loved it!  Then granddaughter Samantha got Patches.  SO, Much better...
Well, that's about it for now.  I'm on my way to see what you've been up to!

Remodeling

Well, I'm back again...I Heard That!.... It's flowers this time so stop fretting!  No sad news today, I promise.  
Hubby and I got up early and headed to Lowes for paint chips and to look at tile for my bathroom.  It's getting a makeover for old people...yes, I said old people.  I'll be 64 this Summer and me and the tub are starting to fuss!  I can hike my leg up as well as any 40 year old to get into the tub but 23 inches and clearing stone is a little tricky.  That's a  Jacuzzi and I love it but what happens when I'm 70 or 80?  IF I make it that far.  Gotta' plan for being...old...older.  You're probably think "boy, what a wuss", but I'm tired of forgetting to hike and ending up with a skinned knee.  SO, hence, the remodel.  I'm even going in for a GRAB BAR!!Hahaaaa....don't worry though, I found a really pretty one.  Not the silver aluminum old people kind.  Also getting a hand held shower that slides on a rod...coolbeans!  Larry doesn't think the floor tile can be saved but we'll see.
It's been raining almost constantly...I love it.  I think I'd do great in Washington State....
Hope you're having a nice Saturday...Coming to check on you!
