Bathroom Remodel Phase 1 - Demo


{Investigation(drywall removed) Bathroom Before - Vanity/Toilet and Shower (across from)}

Quick background on remodel as to the why - besides being 44 years young the carpet and wall on the outside of the shower was getting wet. Called insurance to have them investigate...they really couldn't figure it out so they said we're on our own (they paid to have a plumber & contractor over) and I figure the shower was leaking somewhere cause it is on the other side of the shower. It can not really be proved cause it's like a seepage thing and after a week of showering down here the carpet is damp. So we're redoing it, that's the why. Here's how it started...
Thursday night watched some Wis. Bball on TV...had a bunch of beers
Friday...Day 1 bathroom remodel, covered carpet, went to store to buy needed goods, removed vanity, shower door and other misc wall nick n steve nacks
Saturday - No bike ride, instead it was remove snow and proceed w/ demo - Big F*ckin Hammer Day, basically just knocked out the tiled shower which was job...very heavy shit.
After all this work we watched "into the wild" after hearing about it from several diff folks...awesome movie w/ an even better soundtrack..may have to make the investment for the Jeep. One of these days I have to snag Tori's unused nano and unload her tunes and add my own. It's collecting dust somewhere in this place.

Sunday - more of the same...was yawning this morn when I woke up and pulled something in my neck bad...popped some pills, started slowly by getting the "radio flyer" trailer up to load all the heavy bags into so I can stop at the city pay dump tomorrow. Then proceeded w/ the madness. Got a good amount accomplished...not as far as I wanted but close. Had Easter ham at the in laws.
Tomorrow is work, dump and Orientation at NHS for the Triathlon training...we actually start next week Monday and I'm really excited about it at the moment. My fricken neck better be all good to go by then...it's feeling good now after having a bag of frozen veggies on it for 30 mins. Still stiff thou
This is about how it all went down for Good Fri/Easter Weekend...A little more demo to go and then will be on to framing...I'll try my best to keep the blog up to date if poss...cya and Happy Easter
