Starting the Bathroom

Last weekend my dad Vince, step mom Wendy, mom Tamara, step dad Clarke, step brother Erik, brother Adam and his fiancee Christine (phew!) all came over for dinner and Rockband playing into the night. I know, how lucky am I that my 4 parents and entire family get along and actually like hanging out with each other? We all had a SUPER FUN time together and I got MANY wonderful pictures of some serious rocking out.

But, there was also some business to attend to while they were here. Our bathroom has been in a state of disrepair for some time now. Back in November I started ripping up the floor tile (my dad had come over a few times and helped us demo everything else), but because the floor was so consumed with dry rot, I couldn't get very far

We had to wait until we could move the tub out of the room before I could continue ripping up the tile. That meant that we needed to find a place in the house where we could put it (the laundry room, but we had to wait for the garage to be done because many of our tools were being stored in there), and we needed enough muscle to even move it (our guess was that it weighed close to 500 lbs.)

So while my family was over eating and playing, we also had my dad, Clarke, and Erik help Chris move the tub.

Now the bathroom is ready for me to get to work

And the tub has found its new, temporary home in the laundry room

We gotta get a quote on refinishing that sucker...
