Another Remodel Project

Since I work for the school district, my benefits use the school year to renew.  My Vacation/Sick/Personal time all renew on July 1st.  For some reason I thought February would be a great time to use one of my use or lose weeks of vacation.  I also decided to use it to start a bathroom renovation.  Our shower is an original from the construction (1974).  Need I say more, the 70's is known for it's beauty.  Needless to say it was a project.  Ripping out a small shower in a confined space is always a treat.  I ripped the old shower out to the studs.  Cut out the old pipes so I could  re-pipe a new mixer.  At the same time I plumbed a shower head into the other bathroom that shares a common wall.  I wire a new plug and a light into the shower so that its not a cave (like I said 70's house,  for some reason they didn't believe in lights.)  Then I poured a new shower pan, tiles and grouted.  What a huge project.  I really underestimated the time it took to do this project, by alot.  Thanks to all those who helped.  Joe who is always there to help, Brian Bowden my glass man, and Staci for putting up with no extra bathroom.
