A hole... in my newly painted ceiling!

So the day we got home from our vacation, Kyler started a shower in the master bathroom and within about 5 minutes Karlee is yelling from the downstairs computer room, "Ummm, daaaad there's a hole in the ceiling." 

Really? 

After weighing the pros and cons, Layne cut the hole a little bigger to see what might be going on.  - So began the decision to use our "carpet money" to fix and upgrade our master bathroom... and our downstairs bathroom (which had an uneven floor that will hopefully explain the leaking of that toilet).

Through a "comedy of errors" this hole eventually became much bigger. 


Our shower used to be an insert.  They cut it out and we discovered there was no insulation - at all.  I guess that explains why it was sometimes sooo cold in the shower!  So we gave it some insulation!  :)



The floor destruction of our downstairs bathroom.


Starting the tile upstairs.


Tub almost ready for tile.


The shower - getting closer to being done.


The tile downstairs - almost done.


The tile around the tub.


Just needs some grout.


Our downstairs bathroom.  The toilet doesn't leak!  :)


The master bathroom - the shower doesn't leak!  :)



I like it!  :)

The hole in the ceiling finally got covered 2 days ago (Nearly 2 1/2 months later then the hole appeared).  All it needs now is a little sanding and some paint.  Hooray!   


I am very thankful how everything has turned out - and very thankful for my very patient husband!  Our downstairs sink has become Layne's nemesis and setting toilets (okay lets say plumbing in general) may perhaps be the one thing in life that he dislikes more then any other!  You just never know what could trigger the next error in a "comedy of errors."


I'm guessing that's why he started this project halfway through the bathroom project!  :)




Maybe we will have a new deck this summer!  :)
