full disclosure?

Back to post about the progress (or lack there of) our 3rd and final bathroom remodel project. The main thing that is slowing us down is the trash removal. Of course we are way to cheap to rent a dumpster so we try and cram it all in our regular trash can every week. The other tiny little detail- the previous owners of our house drywalled over some mold to try and conceal it. Wasn't that considerate of them? Sigh. Anyway, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. What you are looking at here is the view if you were standing in the shower. There was a leak in the roof, which caused this damage in the drywall. Instead of ripping it out and replacing it, the previous owners framed out a new ceiling a foot down and hung some new drywall and called it a day. The good news is that we will be able to raise the ceiling and add a recessed light so the shower isn't so claustrophobic. The bad news is that we have to have mold people come out to make sure it is properly taken care of, to ensure no problems in the future.

Up close.

Wall tile is almost all gone.
And the empty shower. They used to use lead for shower pans! Kind of interesting, but we will have to replace it. That's all for now, and now that my camera is fixed, I promise there will be more blogging.

Have a great week,
