More tile...

The remaining tub surround has been tiled. There are still spacers so no photo today (too ugly). I forgot to mention that the new door was installed and I L...O...V...E the white 6-panel door & molding! I cannot wait to get the rest of the doors & molding replaced! Although, my wallet sure can...

Anyhow, we are hoping that the grouting will begin tomorrow. There is a lot of it so that will be a multi-day job.

I'm sure we'll have some photos tomorrow.

Wall Tile...

This is a close up of the wall tile, pre-grouting. My favorite part is the "fossil" accent tile. Click on the photo for a close up view!

Floor Tile In!

Tile ready...

Tomorrow is another plumbing test on the tub, another coat of paint, and floor tile install! Jeremy suggested we "stagger" the floor tile and we are considering doing the same on the wall tile. Stay tuned!

The Tub is in!

Lowe's called this morning at 7am to say they would deliver the tub in 30 minutes!!! It arrived unscathed!

We now have everything we need to finish the project. Things should progress pretty quickly this next week!

Progress....

There has been some progress while waiting on the replacement tub. The walls and ceiling have been primed, patched, & painted. Some plumbing has been done and the wall between the closet and shower was widened to support the 6" tiles.

Uncle Ed saved our project! He was able to procure the sink and faucet at his store! He even delivered them to the house personally! Awesome!

Cracking up over the Tub!

We've had a slight delay in our progress due to the arrival and subsequent return of a CRACKED BATHTUB. It was a special order too so another 5 days must pass before a new one arrives.

Also, the sink & vanity that I spied at Lowe's is nowhere to be found. I hit 3 different stores and they are all out with no ship date in sight. To add to that the sink faucet that matches the tub faucet is also on backorder.

Tim to call on reinforcements....Uncle Ed to the rescue!

Phase 1 - The bathroom from Grey to Soon-To-Be-Great!

domus dulcis domus

Welcome to our blog about our home renovation!

The blog name is Latin for "Home Sweet Home".

We've lived in our house for 17 years, we "remodeled" it just after we moved in. Some things we completed, others have remained incomplete since then! Work, school, our business, work, then more school have all taken up our time & focus. We're finally at a point where our new goal is to live in a house that is completely finished!

Keep an eye out for updates!
