We have a bathroom!!!

So our new house is plumbed for three bathrooms and when we moved in, only one of them was fully functional but only marginally. And this was the main bathroom in the house. We were showing with duct tape and plastic wrap coving holes in the tile that had rotted through. And the time finally came for its remodel but the problem of where we were going to bathe now was a problem. The master bath has only a shower with a giant crack in the pan. Our solution...epoxy the crack, take short showers and keep a bucket under the drain pipe down stairs where the shower was leaking on to the ceiling. We've probably had better ideas...
 The hole over the bucket was intentional, the half of the ceiling missing was necessary after showering with a broken pan for nearly 5 months. Little water damage is all...and apparently the crack was the least of our worries. There was a leak on the pipe and literally the day our new bathtub was usable, the wall gave in the master shower.
 And this is the downstairs bathroom. Not a lot of privacy.

 
But back to our new awesome bathroom Thanks to generous donations of time by my daddy, we were able to put together the sweetest bathroom ever! He is so smart! We're so happy with how everything has turned out. Here's our before bathroom....
And the after!








The kids just love it too. After Evelyn used the toilet for the first time I over heard her
tell Caden with a big sigh, "I can't wait until I have to go potty again." We still need to get the window in and re-cased, but it's ordered and that'll be a project for another day.
