What better time to renovate a bathroom than when I'm 8 months pregnant. We moved straight from the baby room to the bathroom. Brad bought tile weeks ago to retile the bathroom floor and around the tub. It took forever to get bids so while we waited on tile bids, we decided, what the heck, let's get a bid to replace that giant wood window that's in the shower.
So we got the new window ordered. The window guy assured us that the tile guy could tile around the existing window and then replace the window later when it's ready. Of course it never fails... I had a bad feeling about this one. The tile guy ripped everything out of the bathroom and then said, "lady, I have to have that new window to tile around it correctly." Of course you do. That's what I thought to begin with. And how long does it take to manufacture a custom window - 4 weeks. So now our week long retile project is indefinitely stalled until the new window gets here. And how many weeks do we have till due date. 4 weeks - we're cutting this one a little close.
Brad trying to assure me it would all be okay (can you tell this was his idea!) offered this calming notion - hey babe, at least the demo is done. Worse comes to worse, Campbell will probably just sleep through the tiling. Here's hoping!
Fun trick - if you look down the side of the tub you can see straight through the subfloor to the ground. During the hottest time of the year we have a huge opening in our house for all our A/C to flow through. Why did we think this was going to be quick and easy?
