Bathroom Remodel #1

Well, the day to tear out our master bath finally arrived. We have been talking about what to do with this bathroom for almost 5 years since we moved in. As I mentioned before, we had grander plans that exceeded our budget so we had to scale back a bit. Today was demo day so last night I took some before pictures and today I took the post-demo, pre-reconstruction photos.

Tomorrow we will have the electrician come out to remove the lights in the dressing room and bathroom as well as install new lights in both rooms and a exhaust fan/light in the bathroom. He was supposed to come today but ended up at my parents house to fix an AC problem that he caused during their remodel. It is a good thing he was not here anyway because our bathroom could not have fit the electrician along with the 3 plumbers. I think that is all that will be happening tomorrow. Monday they will tape and bed and texture the walls. Tuesday they will put in the tile. That night Sam and I will paint and on Wednesday they will install the vanity and faucets. After that I am not sure the schedule. Amazingly, it could all be done by the end of next week.

It is quite interesting doing this with a toddler. Last night Sam took off two of the cabinet drawers to save and use to practice painting since we may paint other similar cabinets in the house. This morning she was quite concerned that they were missing and wanted daddy to fix it. When the workers arrived she wanted to watch them. Luckily it was a MDO day and she was not around because they were in and out of the house all day, it was loud and she would have been in the way. The interesting thing about a bathroom remodel with a 7 month pregnant lady will be midle of the night bathroom trips.

I don't plan to post updates every day and may even wait until it is done for the big reveal.
