So by fate we had to start remodeling the bathroom. We were wanting to do this project next but I think we both thought we would wait until around springtime. Well as luck would have it, life had a different idea. Our shower downstairs needs replaced and we were hoping we could do that after we got the upstairs bathroom redone. That way we had at least one operating bathroom at a time. Well, last week Tony was taking a shower and about 6 tiles decided they had had enough and fell. So our alternative. Get the upstairs bathroom ready to go. This is our biggest and most difficult project so far. Lord help us we are going to tile! Really wish my brother-in-law didn't live 8 hours away!
Hopefully we will be able to accomplish this task and at least Adam is only a phone call away if we get into some difficulties. Maybe he'd be able to talk us through it.
So yesterday Tony started taking down wallpaper and the nasty blue plastic wall tiles, as well as the adhesive behind those. I'm thinking we are going to have to buy some adhesive remover because that stuff is as hard as a rock!
Last night we went to Home Depot, spent a few good hours collecting anything and everything(hopefully we got everything) that we will need. Thanks for the gift cards from those that gave them! They we put to wonderful use last night.
So since Tony has his academy all day today, I'm tasked with taking down the rest of the wallpaper, only one layer this time (Thank God for small blessings), and the tiles. Most of today I have been scraping glue from the wallpaper off. What a messy job. I'm taking a break to write this otherwise I think my arm would fall off. I do have to add, there is some sexy pink paint under the wallpaper. Just thankful the bathtub wasn't pink!
Well that's all I have for now. Wish us luck!

Not looking forward to removing the adhesive...yuck!
