Remodel

We are beginning a bathroom remodel project. We have not loved our upstairs bathroom since purchasing our house and we knew it would be the first thing to get a make-over. But when we found out that the shower is leaking into the downstairs closet, our remodel is happening sooner than we thought.

Since Waymond is the remodeler in the family he'll be doing most of the work, but I was raise by a father who taught me many skills. Thanks Dad! So, I am the demo girl on this project. Because things are slow at work at the moment I am getting off work at 2:30 and my plan is to come home and demo the bathroom for a couple of hours a day until its finished. I started yesterday, but today did some birthday shopping for a friend instead. Here are some before and some after shots on the first day.

I didn't get too far; I mainly ripped off the trim and tore out the shelving. I starting prying the mirrors off, but I didn't have my dust mask on because my goggles were foggy and I thought eyes more important to protect. A piece of mirror flew off and got me in the lip, so I called it for the day! No worries, it just bled for a minute or two and then done. Only a little purple today and no swelling. Very minor! Waymond is threating to take my picture with all my work clothes, mask, & goggles.
