The Bath Room Is Done - Mostly
Here are some pictures of the bathroom. I borrowed the camera at work. The only thing left is the weins coat and chair rail. I think I posted after I got the fixtures in for the tub and shower. All I had to do was caulk. Well it sounded easy enough. I planned to do it at night after the kids were in bed. The first try went pretty good. I decided that I would do this right. That was my first mistake. I put down blue painters tape so I would have a clean line. I did that caulking and I looked great. Of course the phone rang just then and I got to talking and then forgot about the tape. You see, for those who don't know, you are supposed to pull the tape off before it dries. This leaves a clean line. The problem is if it dries than it does not come off when you remove the tape. I stays behind and kind of hangs in the wind. NOT PRETTY. The next morning I started removing it before I went to work. Later that night I finished removing it and grabbed another tub that I had around the house. I noticed it had a different consistency, but thought it was just a different brand. WRONG. The next morning it still hadn't dried. I spoke to one of my maintenance guys at work and he said that if the tube was ever frozen, it would do that. GREAT. That night (Friday night), after the kids were in bed, I began again. I used craft sticks to scrap out all the caulk and then got it all cleaned up. Then I caulked again. Thank God it worked. I had to pick up Nana on Saturday and I was determined that that bath room would be ready for her to use. Anyway. Enjoy the pictures.
Just so you remember, this was the before:
Then this after I gutted it.

Than this is with the new stuff.
