The other day I put a nail through my hand during demolition, that was swell.
I finally uploaded some images of the process on my flickr account. Take a peek when you get a moment.
Holy cow, this is some serious hard work. So we had to rip out the vinyl tile in what will soon be our master bath, sounded easy. Well the vinyl flooring came right up, but the paper backing stayed stuck to the cement floor underneath. We tried scraping with a hoe, yes, a hoe. We tried hand tools and soaking the topside in water. Finally Michelle got a sidewalk scraper and some adhesive remover and went to town. She did a fabulous job and I'm saying it's 98% done. So now it looks like we may go with the big guns and get a cement sander this weekend to get the rest off. Now that the floor is visible, the plumber will be coming to see how to tie into the sewer, where to mount the soaker tub, the sinks etc... Speaking of bathroom equipment we just got the toilet today and it's a beauty. More than we wanted to spend, but has gotten some great reviews. It's the Toto Carlyle and we love it!
In fact we saw it (used it) originally at the Hotel Valley Ho in Phoenix on a recent trip down there. A great place to stay by the way. We've also received our sinks, faucets, tub filler. We are now in the process of designing what to do with a vanity and where to put the sinks. It's pretty crazy to take on such a huge project, but I guess people do it every day.
