Restroom Renovation

One Week... that was all it was suppose to take.  Now that Mr. MedSchool has been out of the classroom for a significant amount of time, he is getting antsy to start a new project.  Thus he came up with the brilliant idea to destroy renovate our bathroom.  He guestimated estimated that everything would take 1 week (1).

This started out innocently with a few trips to Home Depot to look at tile and toilets (2).  Then words like "sledge hammer" and "demolition" started to be thrown around.  Finally D Day (3)  came around, and I went to work, leaving Mr. MedSchool to work.   By the time I came home our bathroom looked like this:

So as you can see the demolition was going well.  ... I mean we have no walls ... literally.  It took Mr. MedSchool another few days to tear down all of the tile (4), leaving a lovely thin layer of dust throughout the house that won't go away no matter how many times I dust.  However, the greatest surprise came with Mr. MedSchool pulled up our shower floor.  It seemed that the floor underneath was somewhat non existent.  The wood underneath the tile had basically rotted, meaning it too has to be replaced.  On another awesome note, rotted wood means a good chance of mold (5). So basically we cannot do anything until the plumber comes on Tuesday, making this short one week project turn into an involved three week project.

Check back next week for Adventures in Mold!
