Wish me luck.Stitchinsciencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228815425740251265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20432226.post-38786820231580878592016-03-22T06:17:59.975+00:002016-03-22T06:17:59.975+00:00Blimey Patty - you're one hell of a gal!

Same vintage as the avocado ( which IMHO was almost tasteful) and the other day I saw mushroom brown! That, let me tell you, was a real delight! <br /><br />What were we all thinking back then?

Both showers were unusable to I had a temporary one installed in the laundry/utility room. I was able to save money by doing almost all the demo myself. My brother came and helped me move the old pink bathtub out and pull up an inch and one half of flooring that was layers and layers of different floor types. I also saved a lot of money buy buying two sinks, the tub, faucets, and wall tile off of ebay. Yes, I bought a 5 1/2 foot cast iron bathtub from ebay! I got it for half of what it would have cost at the home improvement store. I also did the finishing - painting, floor and wall tile, skirting, and trim. My brother helped me with installing the sink cabinets and hooking up the sinks and toilets. I still need to finish a few things - caulking, touch up paint, hanging towel racks, hooks, and toilet paper holders - but both bathroom function and I don't have the bugs like I use to because of all the water damage and dampness. patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.com
