Wrecking mothers tubbly wubbly

What more fantastic a way to practice for upcoming home construction then on mother's bathroom! Mother put Gregg and I to work. Initially we were going to do a nice new tile floor for her, as a thank you for her help with the downpayment on our new housey....but, being my mother and all....ideas began to brew. Us women are ever looking for them greener pastures.
Mother decided the avocado tub, pot pot and sinky had to go. And, she also decided that it was time for a whirlpool.
This involved a significant amount of wearing, tearing and smashing of cast iron bathtubs. It also involved much man labor. And a little bit of woman labor as well. Winston, the dog, was unhappy with the uprooting of his bathroom. We stayed an xtra week, but still failed to complete the project in its entirety, but did replace the whirlpool, tear down two layers of wallpaper and respackle, remove and replace the tile, assemble the new sink and countertop and stop a faucet that has been leaking for decades. Now, onto our own abode....

The Starting product...the bathroom I grew up using...yeck!

De-tiling the floors. Them tiles came up WAY too easily...

Comforting the puppy.

Goodbye walls.

Taking time out to potty train Winston. Unsuccessful.

Take that mother!

Good time for a house party...

This is how we left things. I found I LOVE tiling! With a tile saw it's a snap, and super fun!
