A House Post!

Woo hoo, I'm finally posting something semi exciting! As you know (all 2 of you who read this, LOL), we bought a house in February 2007, and moved in April 27th 2007. It is a character home, built in 1920, & I love it! It does, however, need quite a bit of work. Like, a lot.

When we moved in, the bathroom on the main floor had carpet (we pulled that up PDQ), & floor linoleum as a tub surround. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but linoleum? NOT a good tub surround!! July 2007, Garth pulled the linoleum off. We did nothing, really, after that. It was a potty & that was it. Last summer (2008), I got fed up & decided we needed to FINISH that flipping bathroom!

So we started painting in Spetember (maybe August?). I picked a pretty yellow (Rift), we painted, and then Garth installed a REAL tub surround! Then Garth's grandpa passed away at the end of October, & people were going to need to use our bathrooms. So, Garth had to do the shower head & get that going. It took a couple tries, & a couple trips to Co-Op, but the water was figured out. Then he did the floor, the night before his grandpa's funeral. He was up until 4am, but it got done! I LOVE having 2 full bathrooms now! Here are some before & after pictures for you.
