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!!

Danny

This post is dedicated to my wonderful husband-

It is possible that I have the best husband in the world.
Danny has been off of work since the friday before christmas ( he did have to go in monday and wednesday this week) and I have been off of work since christmas eve. We both go back monday. During this long vacation that we have had Danny borrowed his brothers X box 360 with plans to do nothing but be lazy.
But his plans got completly trashed when for christmas we were givin the rest of the money to remodel our bathroom.
He has spent the last week making my bathroom fabulous!!! And then to top it off today we came home from grocery shoping and I was so tired that all I could do was cry and look at the huge construction mess. My great man shoveled me off to nap for and hour and a half and then grilled us up some T-bone steaks for dinner, washed up the dinner plates, and then he helped me not only clean up the construction mess, but SCRUB the enitre house every room!!!!!

He has been so good to me that I want the whole world to know that he is AMAZING!!!

I love you babe!

Happy New Year!!

Another year behind us

Dear Santa

Dear Santa-

I have tried to be good, but I know that I have been naughty a couple of times this year, mom wasn't very happy when I pee'd on her bed or when I bit holes in every bottle of a new case of water when she was at work, so this year I am not asking for much. But I do belive in the spirit of giving so instead of bringing me presents will you just take my little sister and give her to someone else!!

Thanks Santa- Love Jack

Dear Santa-

Wow have I caused trouble this year! But I know that I am so stinkin cute I can get away with just about anything, like the time I helped my brother bite thru all the water bottles, That was a blast and mom was convinced Jack did it himself. Oh and how about when mom forgets to shut our kennels before leaving for work so I go in and pee all over my brothers blanket, its the funniest thing ever and because mom never catches me doing it I'm off the hook. So don't worry Santa, I am not expecting you to bring me anything this year, and its okay because I have had a lot of fun!!

(and I think its better to take my brothers toys away from him rather than play with my own.)

Thanks- Love Izzy

Dear Santa-

Please bring prozac.

Thanks- Kim and Danny

Happy Thanksgiving
