I still need to do the post on the big renovation, Nick just downloaded his phone photos, so now I can, but here is how he and Papa spent our winter break. We went to an auction before the big renovation and bought a certificate for a tile store thinking it would be good for the renovation, but we got supplies through our contractor. So we needed to use it for the bathroom, which had a mold problem we could not tackle even with strong cleaners. It was a good thing they did this as the water was leaking and some of the wood was rotting and mold was actually coming back up through the unsealed grout. We will keep up with sealing and hope to not have to gut it again anytime soon. The place we had the certificate for was expensive with limited options, so I found a neat pattern on pinterest and we made it our own with a few tweaks. I love my new bathroom!
Tile and wall down, rotten boards out.
Wood and concrete board back in.
Tile going in.
Dad was our tile man!
This was how Nick cut the tile to try and not get soaked.
The after picture. Nick painted the tub spout and glass rails. No more 80's brass.

And the before from when the house was listed, during and after.
