The Bathroom

When we moved into our house 3 years ago we knew that we had lots of work to do on it. The house was built in 1900 and atleast for the last 20 years had been a rental property.

When we steped into the bathroom the floor squished due to a leaky toilet, it had dark brown ugly paneling and was just plain ugly.

Danny and our brother in law Mike and father in law Gary got to work digging up the bathroom floor, digging down about 3 feet and replacing the whole toilet pipe. Then they put down a sub floor. And for the last 3 years thats what we have lived on. Also the whole house has vaulted celings that at some point had been lowered and drop ceilings put in and then they put in paneling but only up to the drop ceiling. At some point during the move in 1/2 of the ceiling tiles were removed and set outside. It then rained and they were destroyed.

Needless to say my bathroom was scary. I hated going in there.
Here are some pics of what it looked like.
In these pics we have started the prep work for remodeling, but keep in mind the ONLY things done were the cabinet doors have been removed to paint and Danny is covering the tub and taping things off to paint. Everything else is how it has been.

Now here are pics of our new bathroom!!! Keep in mind some of the finishing touches aren't done, we need knobs on the cupboards, towel racks and we are getting a new shower curtain, but they will have to wait till pay day.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this a wonderful project, from the financial end to those who loaned us tools because ours were in the garage that was frozen shut!!
