EKO's Crafty Life

Day Seven Today we managed to do some plumbing, put the three pieces of the tub together, pre-drill some holes and glue on supports for the shower rod and bars. Day Eight All the plumbing is finally attached... Finally able to have a bath again!

On day five my parents arrived in order to be able to help install the new tub. I did clean of one of the old painted tiles to reveal that it was not as hideous as I once thought it must have been. On day Six  The old tub was removed, the opening for the new tub and enclosure was built including raising the celing to make room for the enclosure... and the opening of the air return vent was closed in

Day four the tub arrives!

So day three arrived and I was feeling awful... huge sinus headach,  so I took a nap in the morning and unforunately did not wake up until about 30 min after the baby went down for her nap, 3 and a half hours later she was still napping... finaly I was able to get started again... it went incredibly quickly. Day Three Step One remove the rest of the drywall the remaining wall and ceiling to me a little more than an hour including time to clean up the  bits of drywall and and nails form the room.  the things you find when you removes walls... this return vent does not appear to be attached to a vent.  However it looks like the dry wall may have been acting as the vent will have to look closer once the tub is removed. And the best part of day 3... one last bubble bath to relax before the new tub is installed!

This is not entirely crafty but it is definitely a project and there will be decorating involved so I figured I would share my Renos with you. Well it is finally time to update our main bathroom and get rid of the painted tile! this has been annoying me since we moved in nearly 5 years ago. Now I want to apologise I forgot to take a proper before picture so this on is actually before we moved in so the accessories are not mine however the tile and wallpaper were still there ( half peeling off paper and paint) 4 plus year later. again I forgot to take pictures as I first started Day one Over a series of 15 min bursts of work I removed the drywall on the left of this picture, no more than an hour total time. Day 2 Next was the tile   it took me about 30 min to remove all the tile form this wall. it came of fairly easily. On the morning of day 2 The new tub arrived and as you can see there was a lovely gouge/ scratch in it! ...
