We've had kind of a busy week, what with K graduating, bubblewench being in town and Mr. Kaos being on vacation, but we managed to sneak in some bathroom work. Just a little. Kaptain Kaos did the last of the demo, the heavy stuff that required sawing through pipes. I don't trust myself with a power saw. With everything stripped out we excitedly prepared to put the insulation in the walls but thought first we would do a 2nd test fit of that shower surround we purchased at Grandmother's House of All Things Home Improvement Related. We test fit it the day we brought it home and we were good to go... well guess what?No really guess. Yeah, so it turns out that we fitted it before Kaptain Kaos replaced the window. The window. Doh!Umm yeah, so... It fit on the back wall of the tub. It fit to the left wall of the tub. It didn't fit on the right wall. The wall where the lovely new window is. It didn't fit. It was always going to be a tight squeeze but now? NO. No shower surround for you.So what does that mean for all of you? Nothing really unless you commonly use my bathroom. Or unless you were anxiously awaiting pictures of the finished remodel. Or unless you were really vested in my kitchen getting ripped out. Soon.If any of those apply to you it means you'll have to wait a bit longer because...We're going back to plan A. The one where we tile the tub surround. Or should I say "I" tile it.That's okay. Good actually. I was beginning to question the logic of the 3 piece shower surround because we are putting so much hard work into the bathroom and I want it to be REALLLLLLLY nice. NICE.So yeah. More work. More Cami hours. We'll have to install that special dry wall. I thought I had to use a vapor barrier and cement backer board but then I learned that there is special drywall just for this. One step. Instead of 2. I'm still going to talk to the people at Grandmother's House of All Things Home Improvement Related to see which of those two methods is more sound.Any of you know? anyone? anyone?
