Our New Shower!!!


The big day was on Friday. Michael took the day off so he could be here. As you can see on the side of their truck , well, maybe not clearly it says "One Day Bath Remodel". They were here around 8:30 and left around 6:00. They really can do it in one day.

(Above) This was our first glimpse at our new tub. It looks a lot better when it is actually IN the bathroom though.


Here (below) is what it looked like CLOSE to the bathroom. Resting in the hall way.

Then it came out of the bathroom back on the front porch. I looked at the guy and said, "that isn't what is supposed to happen, right? The tub isn't supposed to come back outside is it?" Well, apparently, they make it at the factory but when they get it to your house there is always some adjusting/cutting that needs to be done. It was getting pretty funny when I was talking on the phone to my sister. I kept saying, "there goes my tub again,... oh, it's back, ...there it goes again, ...it's back...". I think it went in and out of the house at least 7 times. If you think about it getting something as big and awkward as a tub in and out of a house, through doorways, once is a bit of a challenge. Doing it 7 or more times gets down right comical.

Below are my buddies, Mr. Re-Bath #1 and Mr. Re-Bath #2.
I love those guys!

Here we have the first piece..the ceiling cap. Isn't it lovely? (It is the white piece.)

It was hard to get a shot of the whole tub IN the bathroom. My bath room is not that big and usually there was at least one if not two guys in there. I kept sneaking in and taking pictures when they went out for a few minutes. It sure looks nice though. Amazing the difference a new tub makes compared to a 50+ year old tub.


Here we have a whole wall up! It surrounds the new window we purchase several weeks ago. It looks much better.


I can't wait anymore. The anticipation is becoming painful. I present to you.....(drum roll please) the finished shower/tub of 2008!!!

Ta da!!!


Isn't that an awesome corner, shower caddy? Remember the "shower caddy" we had before?

Next on the agenda, new lighting, new cabinet and counter tops.

I even love the faucets!


There was only one problem with this day.


Oops!

It isn't like it was beautiful new tile so it wasn't as painful as it looks. Let's get back to looking at the loveliness again!

Now to re-cap. Here we have our before, during, and after shots. We are thrilled with Re-Bath. This looks great and it is a pleasure to take a shower or a bath now. Yippee. Excuse me, I have an appointment with my shower. ;-)

I have been waiting for the final pictures. The bathroom looks great. I can understand why you love these guys. What a difference. I think it is wonderful that you were able to get this done. The pink floor is definately from the late 40's or 50's. What are the plans for it? Love to the Berners and the New Bathroom in a Day guys.

Thanks! The plans for the pink floor is to get rid of it. It has a lot of cracks and looks really bad. Since it has been there since the 40's or 50's that is no surprise. It is going to take some time but we plan to rip up the floor and Michael wants to tile it. We are going to pull out the cabinet/sink and medicine cabintet. We will replace all of that in addition to the lighting. We will rip off all the wall covering and then paint in there. It is going to look really good when we finally get it done. ~Kim
