The Latest From The Bathroom
It has been about two weeks since I last took pictures of the remodel project. Last week we were out of town so the contractors really went full steam ahead in making progress. It could have been done by now, bu
t like any project there is always some little thing that will get in the way to slow things down. Our little problem just happened to be TERMITES!!!
Now when we moved in we knew there had been a termite problem. It had to be manifested when we bought the house. But what we didn't know was to what extent the problem was. Fortunately, it appears all the little critters are dead. But their damage was still quite evident once the drywall came down. There was a lot of termite debris (droppings, or whatever it is that termites leave behind.) and damaged two by fours in the framing. Some were so bad they had to be replaced. In fact, the contractors had to virtually reconstruct a couple of the bathroom walls. That put everything behind schedule a few days.
But despite the setback, when we got home and walked into the bathroom, despite it's unfinished status, it looked and felt like a brand new room in a brand new house. It looked, and felt wonderful. We can't wait until it's done. I never could understand how someone could be so excited about a bathroom. But now I know. Today we got paint. Tomorrow the tile starts to go in. I think. But we will see.
