Bathroom project

Before



After



So I tiled my bathroom. I got fed up with the lenoleium pulling away from the bath tub and the corners on the base boards being so far apart the calking wasn't able to cover the gap.

I was lucky that my sister happened to have the glue for the tile and the grout. So all I had to buy were the tiles which cost me about $30. Not bad for a tiling project. My mom helped me place the tiles down, Thank heavens. She is good at it and already had the tile cuter. I did the grout by myself one evening. Not too bad. It only took me about 3 hours. Very messy though. It was tough trying to do it with Miah trying to get into the bathroom every couple minutes.

Then a week and a half later my dad came by, while doug and I were on our spa date, and put in the base boards with his extra wood. He then went to the store and bought a new fill tank for the toilet, a wax ring, and calk. My mom and dad put the toilet back in with the new fill tank inserted and the wax ring and calked everything for me. I came home and was soooo impressed. I hate calking and that made me very happy. They also cut the door down a little because it would not fit with the tile in, and then they hung the door. I was jumping for joy to have my bathroom back and to be pretty much done with the project. All I have to do now is paint the base boards.

Thank you Mom and Dad. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Now I enjoy not having to look at those ugly base boards.
Man it makes me think that some of those carpenter's just don't care about the quality of work they do to complete a house. They do just enough to say it is done. That is why our base boards look horrid in our bathrooms.
