What would you do if you came home from work and your bathroom looked liked this?

Mold-1
BG-2 (and counting)

Whee

Bathroom before BG:





Bathroom after BG: EEK!








Tomorrow I break out the hazmat suit and real mask and the rest of the walls are coming down.

Yea ours was a 1950's house, pink bathrooms were big thing up here in new england. But I hate it.
I'm just going to put a prefab shower insert thing in there for now...I'll probably do it over again in a few years.

It's like ripping out the carpet and fixing/re-finishing the hardwood that was covered up by the Green Shag Carpet

I'm so happy I got rid of all the pink ( yep pink again ) carpet which was through out the whole house...only to find some funky carpets underneath. One room had what I call "Rice Pilaf Shag"...I've never seen anything so ugly...it was just wow..laugh out loud

The new floors look great! I really like the color. The bathroom looks good too, you've done alot. I've got to get busy in my house. I moved in last december and I'm just now picking out paint (except for one bathroom and breakfast nook that I painted when I moved in).

Ok...there are 2 shots from the Stairs looking at the far front corner of the garage...one from last year and one from a couple of weeks ago right after I etched the floor.

yeah I got rid of a lot of stuff and also packed a shed with the stuff I was keeping...but will be very judicial with where it goes when I bring it back from the shed.

The next shot is from the far front corner of the garage looking back to the stairs (best comparison shot to the previous two.)

And finally one looking at the stairs from the near front of the garage.

I put up baseboard along the wall about 18" or so up from the curb and painted the drywall with the same floor paint to help seal the drywall, should I decide to hose out garage from time to time.

BTW, the last pix looks more blue then gray, but it's the same color gray as in the 3rd shot.

wow DC , that looks amazing. I love your garage, ours is pretty small. We don't plan on parking in it, but I'd love to do something like that someday. Only problem is our furnace is in the garage, so I'd have to be careful with flammable stuff..Scratchhead
