New Tub

Our major renovation for the house was the bathroom. We've been putting it off and off and off -- for the last year and a half. We fretted a lot over whether or not to do it ourselves or hire a contractor. The contractor option won out -- mainly because we only have one bathroom and if we've learned one thing, it's that every project takes MUCH longer than we would have imagined when we do it ourselves. So we hired a local contractor to do the big stuff but figured we (meaning Kirk) could do the drywall, paint, and trim it out.

The contractors took out the shower stall, installed a bathtub and surround, a new slate tile floor, a new toilet, and replaced the sink we already had (with new hardware). All in 4 days!!! We're still working on finishing the drywall, painting, and trimming 2 weeks later... I'll be sure to post pics when it's all done.

But we do have a real tub now for Sam to play in. Which means we have some great new bath pictures!



We didn't have the hardware on the tub yet so the water was just coming out of a pipe. Sam loved to stick her face in the water spout - it was really funny!
