Demolition

You might recall the trouble in the bathroom.  Yesterday, the trouble got bigger.

I'd be worried, but this particular trouble is self-induced, so I can't get too excited.     Bathroom demolition has begun.  It is to be followed by bathroom reconstruction.  JT took a final bow in the old bathtub on Sunday evening. 

When we got home from school on Monday afternoon, the bathtub was no longer suitable for a leisurely soak as it was in three pieces on the front porch. 

The toilet is now in the closet in JT's bedroom closet, which JT finds oddly unsettling.  It's not flush-worthy at the moment anyway.

And we've gone down to bare studs. 

The lead plumbing is making an exit, to be replaced by new plumbing, insulation and waterproof sheetrock on the walls.  These will be installed alongside a  new tub and a whole lot of tile.

Take note: For the moment, bathing in this house is confined to a wash rag and a bucket...unless you'd like to go outside and enjoy a chilling shower in the sprinkler.

Updates as warranted.
