Well, since it has been a couple of days since we've finished our kitchen, Chris decided to jump right into remodeling our bathroom. He's torn off the nasty paneling on the walls (what is with the people who last remodeled this house and paneling?) and completely ripped off the tub surround and wood paneling below. Thank goodness that there is no dry rot underneath the tub or the paneling - I'm not sure my sanity could handle that big of a project (meaning not having a shower for a much longer period of time)! So, Chris calls me in after he rips off the wood underneath the tub surround and we find this:
It says: "This shower was put in 1958." How cool is that? First of all, it's awesome because this shower and tub surround is freakin 51 years old - yes, our bathroom really was that old and disgusting. Second, it's cool just because someone took the time to record that information! So, of course, Chris thinks to do this:
It says, "Was redone in 2009 - C + M". :) Feels kinda cool to make our mark on the house and take credit for all our incredibly hard work! I told Chris we should leave a million dollars in there for someone to find fifty years from now and be on the show "If These Walls Could Talk" - ha, wishful thinking! It's already cool that we live in the house Chris' dad grew up in - I hope Grandma Syd would be proud of how we've taken care of her house. I will be sure to post some before and after of the bathroom remodel soon - meanwhile, be prepared for us to be knocking on your door, begging to take a shower sometime in the next few weeks! :)
