Remodeling the Carlton's (only) bathroom




These are the before pictures with the boys in the old bathtub, the start of the project and some of the pipes that needed work. Handyman Eddy is becoming a real expert as you will see with the finished bath. It's beautiful. Here's what Rhiannon wrote.
"Our house was built in 1968 and our only bathroom had the original tile. We had been putting a band-aid (just putting chalk over cracks in the grout)on our bathroom for a couple of years. Eddy was about to rechalk the tub when he decided it was time to tear it all out and re-tile it. So another project was born. I plan and design and assist, and Eddy executes. It was suppose to be a simple weekend project--ha! One problem after another but finally three weeks later we finished. Eddy had to replace quite a bit of plumbing that had corroded and Home Depot didn't order the rest of the tile like they were supposed to have. We lived without a shower for three weeks and no water to the house for 24 hrs and no bath tub for 4 days. We bathed all the kids in the kitchen sink. I definitely would rather live without electricity than running water. We finally have a wonderful shower and just a few projects left to do in the bathroom to finish the redo."
