Things are falling into line with the new property. We are scheduled to close on it this Friday. So, we will be juggling 2 house payments until we are able to sell our house. And we can't really sell our house very easily right now because our downstairs bathroom is both wretchedly ugly and partially non-functional. So my task is to remodel it ASAP starting tonight. We went to Menards yesterday and spent $900 on all sorts of stuff. We got probably 2/3 of what we'll need. Whatever we spend will be small potatoes compared to what we had to drop on the first bathroom/electrical project. This one will be much easier (and hopefully quicker too) than the first one because we are basically putting things back where they are now and not framing up a new room. For the record, here's the "before" pictures...
Notice the vintage 60's gold star panelling and avocado green everywhere. If you look closely in the 2nd pic you'll notice that our faucet knobs have been broken and replaced with vice-grips. Very classy. These pictures don't even do it justice. You can't see the out-of-square vinyl tile on the floor and the shower head that shoots more water sideways than down. Now you see why we didn't think we could sell the place without a little work. We'll be replacing the tub with a corner shower and the vanity will be smaller, but in the same spot. We're going to try and push the washer and dryer back further to gain another 6" of floor space too. The vanity is white as will the trim be as well. Here's what Liv picked out for the tile and paint.
I don't understand the connection either. He just likes wearing oven mitts.
