Another Busy Couple of Days

The bathroom has been demolished! The gold tile is no longer. It took about 2 hours to hammer and chisel it all out. Now we have to replace the dry wall with concrete board and we have hired someone to help install a new base and do the plumbing for the shower before we put in the new tile.

I also pulled out everything except the toilet, which I need Mike's help to do, and the light which will get changed out at the end. I had a minor disagreement with the vanity, but eventually it came out. The screws holding it to the wall were right at the top edge so I couldn't get to them with the power drill and I'm not strong enough to get them turning with a handheld screwdriver. Finally, I just took the top off the vanity to get to them and out it went. Now if only elves would come in the night to paint, tile, and put in all the new fixtures. I'll start on that tomorrow and finish some time next week.

After that, Aspen and I went to the dog park so she could run off some energy. Of course, she headed straight for the mud puddle, again...And she got all muddy, again....Unfortunately, I don't have a working shower at the moment since I just tore it out. I tried to wash her off in the backyard, but it's not contained enough to get her to hold still and she kept pulling away. I think I got wetter than she did! I guess we'll wait for her to dry and then brush out the rest of the dirt.
