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.

My house has a similar pink toliet with a totally unmatching light-olive green tub! I think the tub is still there but the toliet had to go.

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.
Nice work, my friend! When are you coming to do my garage?

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
Thanks!

I'd just get a couple of box fans or such to blow fresh air into the garage while you painted...or if done during the summer you could turn off the heater and re-lite it when you were done.

I think I want to go get a mop and bucket for the garage as it's super easy to wipe stuff up now.

I hated the pink anyways, just didn't want to have to do it right away. But I'll be glad when it's finished. Still need to put the wall surround up, just been so busy here and so many other things to do..Sadwalk

MadMad I had other things to do here, like baseboards and move the step DD in. 16 year olds are a lot of work...EEK!

But yea, working on it this week...already got the surround..100 instead of 244 at lowes. Has a small crack, but I got the Epoxy resin to fill it, for 100 bucks I'll take it..Whee
But it's one you're supposed to screw to studs and no way am I taking the greenboard back down..Nono2
So yea, we'll see what happens..LMAO

You should be able to screw through the greenboard into the studs I would think.

Nice 150 buck discount - cost of resin.nod

I taught yesterday and today I've been holed up working on a database design + homework...and have not done much home improvement.

Although I did pick up a couple of battery operated LED lights that have motion sensors on them...I have a few places it gets really dark...that I need to see to unlock the gate, back door, etc...they work bitchin.
