Heart of the day - spilled milk in my sink. Sunday the 15th.We have decided to finally get the last bathroom of the house remodeled.
Day 1 - Friday, January 13th. 1st trip to Home Depot. We picked out tile, new cupboard, counter top and paint. They couldn't find our cupboard in stock so we had go to another store. Second trip to Home Depot put off until morning, Saturday the 14th.
Day 2 - Actual demolition begins. 7am 
Good, its still dark outside.
Good, its still dark outside.The toilet won't be too noticeable yet. 
Next step: tile.
Most of it came down pretty easy. With a 30 year old (+) house, the wall board was a little messed up. 
Gross.

Goodbye kids at the beach wallpaper.
Goodbye kids at the beach wallpaper. 3rd trip to Home Depot - with a side trip to Goodwill. 
About 200 VHS videos to get rid off. Maybe 100 books too. While I went to the Home Depot by Doug's office, the boys went to the office to dump some items in the dumpster there and to pick up the trailer and saw for Jeff and Carolyn to use later in the day. They met me at H.D. to pick up the items we purchased (cabinet, counter top, 2 mirrors, over the toilet cabinet). On the way home, of course, we had to sweeten the delivery by going to Water & Ice or Sonic.

While we were gone Doug had his first trip to our H.D. (the one by our home, we call ours).
He had replaced the old water piping with new. I needed to go look for 5/8 greenboard drywall - first MCD, no luck there, they are closed on Saturdays and our last chance, Lowe's. Yeah!! They had it. Home by 12:15pm. The mirror comes down next and I just can't throw it away!

Kevin helps to get the light up, but sadly we had to redo part of it. He was in a hurry to go pick up JESSII! Yes! She is here! So, Doug, Jeff and I worked on the light and although it is beautiful, it was a little more work than what I had thought it would be. 
Next we started tiling the floor. I love this new peel and stick tile. It actually can be grouted to look more like stone and it has the feel (somewhat) of stone, but we decide we want it down quickly - so we won't be grouting. I still love it though! 
We needed to stop at this point to go to a wedding reception.

Tomorrow is Sunday - rest day, so no work until Monday. Hopefully we can get it all done but the tiling of the tub.
