Kids Bathroom

We have been down to one bathroom for some time. And even that wasn't a complete bathroom. We haven't had a bathroom sink in what feels like for ages. But the day has finally come that we could replace the old shower with the new and move the toilet over. Oh how I have disliked the old shower. It's stained a permanent light brown and always looks nasty! The corners are rusty, the drain is rusty and has never drained real well. There is a lip as  you step into the shower and underneath that lip seems to collect everything and in a week turns black. It's crazy!!!   The shower curtain was here when we moved in. Before we showered I threw that sucker in the washer 2x before we used it. We have now used it for 2.5 years and who only knows how long it was used before that. There were a few rips and tears and the stains oh my! If I would have known that we were going to use it for as long as we did I would have replaced it immediately. Oh well! Back to the shower, the sides of the shower would wiggle when pressed on. I've just been waiting for someone to lean against it and hear them scream that the entire side fell down. Luckily that never happened.   

The last of the interior brick on the front part of the house is gone!

WooHoo!

Kory, Hunter and I each took turns with the sledge hammer trying to get the cement block up that the shower had sat on. It did NOT want to come out. Seriously it took hours to get it all up. 

Then came the toilet. Had to move it since that's where the new tub/shower is going to sit. 

Brayden was our happy helper for the day. 

Of course the plumbing we did for the tub/shower months ago wasn't quite were we needed it. So we got to cut into the cement and extend the plumbing for it.

What a mess!

It's always a good feeling and an overwhelming feeling when we do these bigger projects!

The mess it makes can be so overwhelming. 

But with a smile we do our best!

This project only took about 10 hours!

Sunday morning we were able to use our shower for the first time!

It was absolutely marvelous. The kids love having a bathtub again and thinks it's huge compared to what we had. I love that it's so white and shiny and clean looking! The water heater is much closer and we've got hot water almost immediately! 

So, so awesome!
