Oh, and I failed to mention....

So, recently I discovered that my back patio door was rotted out. Had lost the threshold and was now leaking water every time it rained. yep. Good times. So, I bought a new door and trim ... hired SEVERAL contractors to come out. None of which actually showed up. (no money changed hands, don't worry). Finally, I leaned on my brother in law to round someone up for me. He did. Within 24 hours they were out, door installed, and at less than 1/2 the price that Home Depot wanted. Loving the new door... and trim! :)



The picture is crappy because I just couldn't figure out the lighting issue with the camera.... What can you do really?

We *almost* had it...

My shower is taking forever!! The guys came out to install the glass, and found that the actual door was warped. They needed to order a new one.... It's close...but still no cigar. Hopefully this week.

Digging my new shower!

In case you don't remember what it USED to look like....




And now.... .



Glass guy comes out on Friday... Hallelujah, the end is in sight!

Happy 7th Birthday, Wyatt!

I'll be brief with words. 10 kids. Pure Mayhem. LOADS of fun! :) Happy birthdy to you Wyatt!

Have I mentioned I'm remodeling?

Yes, I know it's all I post about. I PROMISE to post something about Wyatt and his big 7th birthday bash...


But .. this post is dedicated to me loving my new bathroom. :) It's a lot more expensive than I figured...but so worth it!

Plumber came out and installed the 2 shower head lines and also helped change up the tub fixtures to nicer ones. You can see that here:




My shower guy came out bright and early today and started putting in the new floor. SO EXCITED!



Of course, progress will be slow for a week because I have to fly out to Texas A&M for the week, but I'll be right back at it when I'm back in town! Hoping to be back in action w/in 2 weeks!

Out with the old!

Finally pulled out the crappy nasty old shower. Tomorrow the plumber comes to re-route the drain, install a second shower head and update the tub faucet. One more step closer to done! I am putting myself on a deadline now that I've invited a jillion friends over for a Halloween party in October! :)

Here is the old school shower:




Here is the clean slate ready for the plumber to come in!



Once the plumbing is set, I have my tile guy ready to come in and install the travertine. #Woohooooo

After Photos - Master Bath

The big ticket items are still yet to come. The new shower will cost the most..but will be OH SO WORTH IT! More travertine work is done though. A few things to check off the list...

Remaining:

Tear out old shower, re-route the plumbing -adding in dual shower heads
Build the travertine shower - floor to ceiling
Order glass door and install
Finish with new bath bars and figures along with some new mouldings... Then... figure out what the next project will be. *sigh*
