So as most of you know we live in a older house - the bathroom is yellow and black and the bath area has these horrible gold sliding doors on it - the doors are always spotted with water stains no matter how much cleaning I do, it's very hard to clean the tub and nearly impossible to give AJ a bath in it so we have been using the kitchen sink. Well if you have been reading the blog you are aware that AJ is now a splahsaholic and soaks the entire kitchen when getting her nightly bath. Alex and I were debating about having Bathfitters come - but we really weren't into spending the $ since we will be putting the house up for sale one day soon...so we decided to do it ourselves and I am very happy with the result! It took all day but in the end it was so worth giving AJ a bath in the tub!
I felt like "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" and Alex like Bob Vila - we had to unscrew the doors and then remove the molding around it - Alex pried off the doors but there was a dried glue residue around the whole thing - we had to use this adhesive remover and then a paint scraper to get it all off. Then we hung up a pole and shower curtain, put in a new shelf thing that Alex put together and got a new rug and waste basket! It's like a whole new bathroom - we even got a new medicine cabinet but have to return it for a bigger size - maybe next weekend! I mean it's still the horrible yellow and black color but A TON more user friendly!
