| Meanwhile, in the half-emptied living room, the new tub has arrived and the shower surround warms itself by the fireplace. |
The plummer I found to help with the work recommended a durable fiberglass tub with horizontal seams in the surround. It's supposed to not get as gringy. (You know what that word means right? Even though I made it up?)
 |
| Progress is being made. Okay, the new tub is not hooked into the plumbing yet, but at least it's in place! |
Fiberglass bat insulation now fills the space between the studs of the exterior wall. Eighth inch ply sheaths the floor for a clean level surface, and the new tub finally wandered in from the living room. But what do I see in that photos? I'm not loving those oddly ornate pulls on the cupboard -- I think I have some old white porcelain ones somewhere I can use instead. (I did. Happiness!)
 |
| Still needs a shower head... and drywalling in. |
 |
| The tub just squeaked in. Any tighter and we'd have had to move the window, not just the window trim. |
 |
| But doesn't the new drywall look good? There's something about freshly spackled drywall that always seems so hopeful to me. Like I imagine artist feel with a freshly gessoed canvas. |
To be continued...
