Before . . .

Since no project is complete without the proper "before" pictures, here they are . . . in part. A good bit had actually already been done prior to this picture--including priming the walls, finishing the ceiling, installing a new light switch and outlet, etc. However, most of that isn't real obvious in a picture like this, so here's the basic view of our main floor bath--the decorative shower curtain has been down since Chris started the drywall work.


One of the two main things driving this project was the toilet which was NOT seated properly, rocked when you used it, and was obviously causing some water damage in the floor. Besides all that, the wax ring seeped out under the edges and was absolutely gross. Enough said.

The second thing was that the vinyl flooring was no longer properly sealed to the floor, and therefore water could seep under the edges. Again, causing potential structural damage, and with two small children, not ever getting water on the floor is an impossibility. Or at least it has proved to be for us. And mopping was troublesome, too.

And here's the vanity. To save a few dollars, our plan had been to simply repaint it and replace the top. We've since discovered that that's probably not going to work. Its condition does not warrant the effort involved in refinishing it.

So, that's that. Or at least, that was that! :o)
