Remodelling the Bathroom

[mercuryroad 0]

In preparation for Lucia arriving I've been remodelling the bathroom which is kind of overdue.

I was ripping up the floor with a hammer and chisel....it had little b@stard 1 inch tiles. Anyway, I hit myself in the hand 5 times with a hammer, and I have to say it really felt........good!!!! hahahaha! Oh yeah, I feel like a man baby! Check out those bruises! When I get home today, I get to break a cabinet! I hope I get a nail in the foot or something.

Hurts so good......

OUCH!!!

did you cry???

Are you kidding? My step dad was over helping. I'd never hear the end of that one. Manly men like us don't cry while doing home improvement!

Hey Merc take it easy the nurse is not here yet for your boo boos.

The brightside is that it sounds like your subfloor is solid. Keep up the good work.

Noooooo.......the trick when doing home improvement is to drink a lot while you are doing it. That way, when you do something stupid like hit yourself in the hand with a hammer....it doesn't really hurt that bad.

It's going to be awesome....

Burnt orange on one wall and a.....well.....malt type color on the other walls. All of the fixtures will be in silver (which I know Lu loves). The toilet and new vanity will be against the burnt orange wall and they will great against that color.

The new bathtub is a three piece unit that we put in the other day. I also have a "over the john" cabinet that will hang....uh....above the toilet. I purchased silver towel racks and TP holder to match everything else.

The floor is tile and pulls out some of the orange and malt color......which also happens to be colors in the sweet shower curtain I bought. The curtain is primarily a rich red color with burnt orange and other thin stripes of colors such as purple and brown. It's really cool....can't wait until it is done.

Nah....I hammer better when I'm drunk. I can imagine chiseling one inch floor tile and being sober. That job really sux, let me tell you.

The more you drink, the less they hurt......trying them on or spending the money?

Funny......I happen to have some 6" spikes and some 2X4's....hmmm....
