From the mouth of my nephew Andy...

"WHAT A MESS!"


This is what our bathroom looked like on Monday.

6:30 pm Monday night

We tore out the sink, the other two remaining bathroom walls, and took out the window. Seems easy enough right? Well all was going great until I got back from home depot with the cap to close off our old sink, and guess what? It was the WRONG size! And what time is it 9:05 too late to go back and get the right one. Our only option was to shut off the water, and go to bed. We decided we would just live without a toilet and running water for the night.

The pipe with the wrong cap....

Our corroding shower heads that caused all the swelling and warping of the shower in the first place. And our tub filed FULL of all sorts of good stuff!

Tuesday night

Kory's dad comes over and helped us close off all our pipes and install our new shower! When we turn the water back on, we realize that the shower is leaking. Water is again turned off and we go yet another day without water. (we could turn it on for a minute to flush the toilet and wash our hands or fill up our drinking water, so the situation had improved)

Wednesday Day

Kory's dad came and fixed the leak in a flash! And the water is back on! Yeah! Also, we finally found a tile we could both agree on to go on the tub!

Wednesday Night

I am sent to Home depot again to pick up supplies, only to be totally bothered by the sales people there. Everytime, and I mean EVERYTIME I go there, they have to know exactly what it is that I am doing with the parts that I buy, and then try to tell me that I need something different. I get so frustrated because all I wanted to know was where there window sill was. Instead I got told, "We no longer sell window sills" so when I asked ok where are your 1x8's instead of telling me where they are they say "Well what are you using it for?" and I say for a window sill, then they say "Well I would use this kind of board and you don't need a board that big blah blah blah....." and I mean I am just like, first of all, I am just the runner, and all I know is exactly what Kory told me to get. PERIOD. And they don't do it to Kory when he goes, only me. IT MAKES ME SOOO MAD. And it's every department, lumbar, plumbing, electrical. It's so frustrating!

So from the above story, we can't find what we want at home depot, and so we BOTH go to Lowes (we also found out they are open an hour later in case anyone needs something at 9:05pm) we found this information VERY useful.

We don't find anything here either, but Kory gets an idea of what he needs for tomorrow. It's too late to do anything else so we go home and eat a very late dinner and go to bed

Thursday Night

Kory gets all the supplies he needs while I enjoy my dance class.

Friday day

I prime and paint our window sill so Kory can put it in on Saturday morning.

Saturday

Kory put in the window sill, the window, the insulation and put up the drywall! Its green because it is a special kind for bathrooms to help resist mold and water damage...in case you were wondering.

The new window and insulation
Caulked the window and put up the drywall...

So after a very long and draining week, we are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel! We found out our tile wont come in until next Monday, we are hoping by some freak incident it will show up sooner so we can get this bathroom finished.
