Wren here, Savannah is a acting like a beached whale tonight ha ha. jk! She looks gorgeous, I can't imagine carrying a 6-7lb baby all day long. She has been so fun the past few months. I love her pregnant, but I am helping her out tonight with our first before and after post of the new place.
What do you think of the bathroom?
Well not that we didn't love a bathroom with carpet, but it had to go. . .
It was a bigger pain than we could have imagined. There was linoleum under the carpet, then a layer of cement, another layer of linoleum, cement, plywood, and finally the subfloor. Tearing everything out was tedious because whoever put it in thought that a screw every couple inches would be best. Guess they didn't think anyone would ever want to tear it up. Bless their heart! After accidentally braking off one of the heads to a water pipe and soaking every inch of the bathroom I finally got all the old floor up. I then came to a sad realization that the cast iron toilet drain was a couple inches above the subfloor. In order to make the tile even with the drain I had to add a layer of plywood before putting the cement board and tile.
We are happy that the bathroom finally came together. We learned a lot through this whole process and Savannah will be posting about the do's and do not's another day. It has been a lot of fun to go through this whole experience together. The work and long hours in the moment kind of sucked, but it has been totally worth it in the long run. I hope everyone has a great day and we will be posting about what we learned in the near future so those who want to try something similar at some point in time can learn from our mistakes.
