So today two guys from Bathfitters barged into my house and now they're stinking up the place and putting in gorgeous new tubs over our old ones. I'm so excited.
I told Auntie Brenda yesterday before she left (miss you, Auntie Penny!!!) that I would document the whole ordeal through photographs, but I've been rather lax with the picture taking so I think I'd better get to it.
We're replacing the baths because both of them have never been replaced in the 25 years this house has been standing, and they were both in really rough shape, especially Mom's (but then again, she didn't clean it for 2 years because Dad was in that room so no wonder) and so Craig, the guy in her bathroom, is doing lots of repairs to the walls before he puts the rest of it up. Also, when it comes time to sell the house, nice bathrooms are a major selling point. Sarah and I haven't been able to use our shower in a few months because there was a hole in the grout on the back wall and it was leaking onto my carpet, so we took to using Mom's, which was oh so much fun. It will be so nice to use my bathroom again, especially now that it looks so good.
Next on our home improvement list: windows, flooring and painting. The windows will be done in the fall for sure, to cut down on our heating bills throughout the winter. Painting may happen then as well, but flooring will have to wait. Boohoo.
On a brighter note, today Mom and Sarah are heading to Ikea to investigate quite a nice half price sale on the kind of Ektorp couches we want for the family room and living room. Yay!
