The lovely bathroom...

Well - it *was* certainly very "sunny"


A whole yellow and black motif... complete with wallpaper (or course...)
Hawthorne Bath 1a

We took inventory with what we could salvage in the bathroom and decided that the cast-iron tub would be all we could save... so out with the rest!


The wallpaper luckily came off a little easier... when you tearing all the walls out...




Oh yeah... all the walls.


Will this ever get clean?? (We're counting on it...)


Floors too! Now it looks like a scene from a Saw movie...


Thanks to a new vanity we had to rework the plumbing. We numbered the floorboards so we could put them back down.


Once all the tile came up (while using a chipping gun, which was awesome), we decided that we wanted to stabilize everything. Once again, since we were doing all this work, we wanted to do it right. So, we put down a thick piece of plywood over the whole floor, followed by a light-weight cement board.


Now, in the process putting up some mold-resistent drywall and we are finally starting to have *some* walls. Still no toilet... but walls are a start...


More to come as we show the deconstruction of our new home!
