As we continue to work on the bathroom we are finding all sorts of things. My dad found that one wire for the lights above the sink has a screw right through the middle of it. How that never shorted out over the years is anyone’s guess. Today Dad and I finished up the teardown and then we went to Home Depot to pick up some supplies and a new fan for the bathroom. There are so many to choose from but I think we got a really good one. It is supposed to be quiet and with everything properly vented (things were not done properly in the past) we should have the bathroom steam cleared out quickly, even when Eva takes showers that make the bathroom feel like the Everglades.

While we were in Home Depot we picked up some sheetrock. We got one piece for the ceiling that is mildew resistant and 5 pieces that were regular sheetrock. We left the cart over by the sheetrock and picked up the other things. When we came back to the cart and went to check out we noticed that someone had put two additional sheets of sheetrock on the cart. It was rather strange that they would do that.

Yesterday I mentioned that we were remodeling our bathroom on the first floor. Today we began the teardown. First off, my house was built by Jack and his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl. When our plumber got into things he found so many things that were wrong with how the plumbing was done in the bathroom. There was so much wrong. Each day we have had an adventure of finding some really inconvenient things to make everything go much slower. Today, though, we torn everything out except for a little of the ceiling and some of the walls. We’ve got a long way to go to get it completed.
