So the last week has been a busy one. Unfortunately we were gone over the weekend so I feel like we didn’t’ get anything major done but we have gotten a couple things done (I never give myself enough credit). In case you are just tuning in my husband and I just bought a house on March 6th, moved in on March 13th – so this week marjked our one month in the house. We dove right into our first bathroom complete gut job, because it was gross…
See I warned you – gross.
Weekly Plan:
Wk 1: Gut Bathroom/Move around plumbing – finish ordering all supplies — DONE!
Wk 2: Remove wallpaper/sand window trim — DONE!
Wk 3: Electrical — DONE!
Wk 4: Tile/Wall off the old Door
Wk 5: Install Vanity, Shower Glass, Countertop
Wk 6: Last minute finishes
Above is where we were last week.
So the two big things we did this week were level out the floor in preparation for the tile and scrape wallpaper.
I couldn’t believe how the wallpaper came off. My husband did the scraping (actually he has been doing pretty much all of the demo). He used fabric softener to remove it. Once it was wet it came off just by scrapping.
So in the next week – my fingers are crossed that the tile gets here by Friday so we can tile this weekend. Hopefully we will start having some pretty pics next week!
Be sure to check out all the participants here.
Looking good!
Can’t wait to see your finished bath!
Oh yeay!! I’m so glad you are participating! Sorry, I didn’t realize or I would have stoppped by here on Week 1! There are so many participating it’s hard to know….This will be so great. I can’t wait to see more. And Congrats on your new home!
Wow! You guys are really getting to work. I know what you mean about wallpaper. I recently took some off in one of our bathroom’s too and was surprised by how easy it was since wallpaper seems to have a bad rap.
Totally know what you mean about feeling like you got NOTHING done when you actually did make some progress! When I don’t have the weekend to work on projects I throw myself a pity party 😉 It looks like you made great progress!!! So happy to be following along! xo
