Thank you so much to everyone for the reassurance on my tile choices last week - it's good to know I'm not crazy for thinking it works together! Not a single thing from the to-do list got completed this week, but I'm not giving up just yet.
I spent about an hour on Tuesday trying to chip up the thinset that is left on the foundation from pulling up the tile, but I only got about 1 square foot finished before it felt like I had broken both my wrists! We promptly ordered a demolition hammer to take the rest of it off and to help break up our old shower pan for the plumber. Charlie took off of work so we have a four day weekend to complete the floors and hopefully get everything ready to lay tile next week! This means that we'll soon have a new toilet set and we can finally get our bathroom vanity out of our bedroom! It's only small progress, but it's progress nevertheless.
We also have a some promising leads on a couple of plumbers and a roofer, so all hope is not lost :)
Meanwhile, these pretties are just sitting around waiting to be installed:
>> tile, drain, towel bar, towels <<
Make sure to head over to Calling it Home to check out this week's progress from both the Wednesday and Thursday participants!
