Yet another house project is mushrooming out of control.
We started off needing to replace a couple of tiles in the bathroom. I already talked about what we discovered when we tried to do that. So we decided we'd have to replace the walls around the shower and retile them. Okay.
When we got all the old tile and old wall material down, we discovered a lot of water damage that we thought we'd better repair before doing the tile. Nothing we can't fix, probably, but it would involve taking the bathtub out of the bathroom so we could reach all the areas behind it. Uh-oh.
Next thing we know, we're talking about a whole new bathroom. Put the tub down at the other end of the room, change all the fixtures, get rid of the sparkly orange 1969 countertop and the blue tub/toilet/sink, etc. Well, if we're going to do all that work, we may as well get what we want. We'll have someone come in to do an estimate so we can pick his or her brain.
Our projected timeline for this is going to be a year.
And you wonder why I'm stressed.
