What started with a leaky bathtub.....

Well, what started with a leaky bathtub ended with two bathrooms with new tile floors, new shower/tub, and new toilets. It's a good thing we have another bathroom downstairs for the tutors to use... (What a hastle it would have been to use our upstairs bathroom for our guests.. it would have meant that I'd have had to have it presentable) Our Handyman Dan.. (We call him Dan the Man) and his right hand man Ryan got to work. Ripping out, taking out, knocking out. Two weeks later they are all but done. Wow, our mornings will be so quiet.. no noises at 7:00a.m. coming from the bathrooms. Dan is so patient. I have such a hard time knowing what I like as far as colors, tiles, showers, toilets.. so many choices. Thank goodness he has an eye for design (better than me). Mom and Dad, hurry back for a visit. You no longer have a bathtub to step into.. it's just a fun big shower. Rebecca, your boys will like the new bathtub... can't wait to see if they will notice. Enjoy the pictures! Oh, and if that wasn't enough (Demolishing and repairing), we had a new faucet put in our kitchen sink. What's to get excited about in the kitchen faucet department.. I'm loving this one! It is computerized! Yup, it has a sensory thing that tells it when to turn on and off. Come over and try it out!
Dan didn't miss a second getting that toilet and bathtub out of here.
Ntoice the nasty floor.. Don't ask what it was. I just told him I thought it looked like the glue that held the floor down.. (Nice thinking Jill)
Notice the green on the top of the shower/tub? That was the original color before we had it painted. So, that tub/shower had to be over 30 years. The master tub/shower was mustard color.
Rebecca and I painted this red/white/blue bathroom years ago.. We had such fun with it.. but it went bye, bye too. Dan the Man got used to me coming and taking pictures. Sorry Dan.
So this was pretty much the first week. The second week was putting it all back together. Dan is so good about covering things up, cleaning as he goes. He's also very PATIENT with me and my undecideness. I'm not a decorater. After talking and visiting tile stores and Pinterest.. I finally decided on the look. Thanks Dan & Ryan, and plumber Josh! Oh, did I mention my faucet (yes, I know I did), I love it! Come over and check it out. I'll even let you wash a dish or two.
Now all I need is to pick out some new towels... I know Bob, I can wait until Christmas!!! Thanks Dan Davis Construction
