We moved in to our house in August and started the bathroom in September. The old bathroom was disgusting!!. The tub was black and the shower doors were so grungy and dirty. I bleached the bathroom several time but it never felt clean. We had one little vanity for storage and one plug on the light above the sink. Anytime I wanted to dry my hair I had to stand on the toilet to plug my hairdryer in. One evening Joshua was trying to get the dirt out of the track on the shower doors when he decided it was time. He removed the shower doors and chucked them outside the back door in the rain and mud.
It took us about two months to remodel. We were down to the studs and everything now is brand new. Joshua did all the work himself and my dad helped replumb the house for the new bath and kitchen. We had a few downpours in the basement before the new copper piping decided to hold and not leak anymore. You should have seen us running to turn everything off as water was spraying everywhere in the basement!! The previous bathroom was 5x7 ft. For the new bathroom we removed a hall closet and added the hallway and closet area to the new bath. That is now were the vanity sits. Joshua's Dad made a beautful linen cabinet and we now have plenty of storage. Our new bathroom is very comfortable and Joshua did an awesome job!
Our home is always full of surprises! We have just bought a fixer upper and we are always seem to be tearing into a new project. We love being home with our children and having them enjoy every new adventure with us. We are 2nd generation homeschoolers and it is a joy to contuine the journey of homeschooling with our children that our parents started with us. Hope you enjoy our blog about our home and family!
