Bathroom

There were a number of jobs that were earmarked URGENT and this was one of them. There is no way the girls would step foot in the bathroom in the condition as it was. I have to say though it did look worse than it really was, we fully expected the wall behind the shower to be rotten and it wasn't, however the floor underneath the vanity....was! We started on this before moving out of  Lincoln and Brent pretty much plowed in and started ripping walls out, making the comment...."there's no turning back now".....yup.

 It was decided quite early on that as the bathroom is tiny, like really really tiny, we would rather have a shower in there to replace the bath and also gain a bit of room. We gained a little bit of room, not alot as we also went for a bigger vanity...haha....it is a small bathroom but it had to be sorted and maybe at a later date it might get added on to. The girls are happy with it and if the girls are happy then we are happy :)

It did give us a few headaches to start with, Hayley ran us out of hot water and poor old Brent had to drive Rachelle back to Lincoln Ave so she could finish washing her hair!!! We thought there might have been a problem with the hot water tank, but no, the problem was with Hayley and her enormously loooong showers. As the pipes were the old galvanised ones we changed them at the same time.

Almost complete we finally got round to hanging the bathroom mirror which had been resting on top of the vanity only to have it come crashing down a couple of hours later and smashed to pieces, chipping out a bit of the doorframe on its way down and a little nick out of the porcelain basin......bugger! (actually that was not really the word I used, but you get the idea.) We have yet to get another mirror, but it won't be this side of xmas, a phrase which we are using alot these days.....so the bathroom even though it is the first room to be done has still yet to be signed off officially!

oh...and we had to replace the door, did I mention that all the doors need replacing, so far we have replaced all the room doors, just need to get the wardrobe doors and linen cupboard door. And...I don't know how to turn the photos around so you may have to look at some sideways :)
