Time for a Fall Project!

It's project time again. Which means we are minus a bathroom.

Those of you who know my husband Ed know that he lives

Our completely unfinished bathroom.

for his next project, and this one happens to be the upstairs bathroom. This weekend Ed spent his time completely demolishing everything in the bathroom, and now there's pretty much nothing left except for the closet shelves.

So now this means that son Sam gets to share our bathroom in our bedroom, which he's not all too thrilled about. But at least he's the only one. Luke left for college a few weeks ago so he's not here, and Clay's been gone to college for a while now.

They were all home last weekend for the Labor Day weekend. And of course, Ed put them to work. What a comical scene to watch the four of them attempt to get a 350 pound cast iron tub up the stairs. I thought for sure someone would break his neck, but somehow they prevailed.

Now that the demolition is complete it's time to put it all back together, which will take some time. Ed has until Thanksgiving. We're hosting this year, so we'll have to have the bathroom back in order for when the company comes.

So I guess this is where some of the decision making starts. Ed says we're going to have to decide on a faucet set for the bathtub soon, as I guess that's one of the first places he starts. So do I go with black, which I tend to prefer; or with the chrome or brushed nickel, where there are more choices? We already have the new vanity and vanity top, as well as the aforementioned heavy bathtub. Just want to make sure our new bathroom is perfectly color coordinated. That's pretty much my job. All the hard labor falls in Ed's hands.

Whatever the finished product, I'm sure it will be spectacular. My husband does good work. It wouldn't be inaccurate to call him a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like this.

Just as long as he knows he's on a deadline. Turkey day isn't so far away!
