Phew, that's done. As cool as the yellow bathroom was, the rusted out hole in the tank made us think it might be time to replace at least the toilet. And while we were at it, maybe pull out the vanity...and the mirror, well and the light fixture and tiles, oh and don't forget that horrible floor, set in several inches of concrete. Fun stuff.
We did have the tub professionally reglazed and the plumber had to extend the tub spout pipe in order to install that. Other than that, this was a weekend warrior project. Lots of weekends. The new bathroom is beautiful and we love it! Brad's friend Matt, again, helped get him started with the tile work. Sam had a tile saw we could borrow, which worked out well as the shower walls needed a lot of special sizing. We owe those two guys endless cases of beer for all of the tools they so graciously loaned us. All in all, an excellent learning experience. Oh, and save yourself the trouble and order the Moen fixtures the first time (amazon). Burst cheap shower heads without brass fittings aren't worth the trouble they cause.
Currently we are between projects, which is a very zen place to be :)
