Super remodel

Well, through all the heat, we have been making due with our little pool and trying to get things done in the mornings before it gets too warm. One of the goals is too finish most of the work on the bathroom which unfortunately contained some fifty years of slow rot. Today we finally cleaned out the last of the dirty work; rotten ceilings and old joists. One of several problems was that someone had fixed a leaky roof by just building a new crappy roof over the top of the old one. Anyway, we should have a new bathroom before mid-August and we're pretty excited about that.

Peeling off the rot.

Rotten hole.

Fly 60's bathroom.

New furniture.

The tough guy look. Though difficult to catch fully on camera, this one cracks us up and he'll do it when you ask him who is a tough guy...

That tub is so old, I think it may actually back in style.....

I love the tough guy look, reminds me of Sophie's frown.

The tough guy look made me laugh out LOUD! How cute!

The bathroom is quite groovy, baby. Is the tub cast iron? Our pink one when we moved in weighed about 500 pounds. I think we still have it if you would like to replace green with pink! :)

I love the green tub. Put some nice black and white tiles in there - retro chic! Look - I'm channeling my mother.

The mean face is awesome. Very intimidating.

Sorry to all the fans, but the avocado bathroom suite is out in the interest of resale, Katharine is a big fan of the tiles though...

Peeling rot is so sexy. And that bathroom? I think that is actually a picture of a place I lived in Athens.

Little man is growing up nicely, by the way. Give him a kiss from creepy Aunt Annie!
