Bathroom Rehab Before

 

Inspiration picture above.

This is my before bathroom.

Broken and dated tiles with grout.  I hate grout anywhere!!!! It is the worse thing to get or keep clean.  It traps everything.

Awhile back we wainscoted half way up the walls in this bathroom to cover up the ugly tiles that ran up the walls.

Here is an old picture of the bathroom with the bathroom floor tiles running up the wall. 

This is the shower yesterday before the one day bath room contractor re did the shower. I cannot wait to show you the after pic with the final reveal.

I am waiting on wallpaper, flooring and fixtures to arrive.  Hopefully in the next week.  Then Terry and I will do the completion to this bathroom rehab.

The shower rehab was too much for us to do alone so we hired that out.
The rest of the transformation is going to be from he and I finishing it up ourselves.  Saving $$

Side Note:  Sunday night we came home from our new little grandson's baptism to find a water main break in the front yard burst coming into our condo building.

Water was gushing and it took several phone calls to the city to get someone out on a Sunday night of a holiday weekend to shut off the main water supply.

Needless to say we had a large skating rink forming in the front yard and parking area.  It was negative 2 degrees with a wind chill of 30 below.  Water was freezing quickly.

Then the next morning on Martin Luther King Day out of three plumbers called only one had the equipment and was willing to come out to get the pipe fixed and water restored to the building.
It was a nightmare.  With the water main break it knocked out the electrical power to the building because the lines ran underground along side of the broken pipe.

We are all electric in our condo building.  No heat or water!
We were at the mercy of the one and only plumbers to fix the main pipe break and then the electric company could fix the lines.

After a lot of $$ spent we have electricity and water flowing again.
Thankful they could do this all in one day with the sub zero temps we had.
None of us had to be displaced out of our homes.

This did slow down the bathroom process.

Hoping in the next week or so I will have a completed bathroom to show you.

Have a good weekend.
Hugs,
Kris
