So, bathrooms sound easy. Afterall, what can go wrong– it’s only 37 square feet. That’s like 2 sheets of plywood for new underlayment for a new floor! First off, Lowe’s didn’t sell plywood in a 1/2″ 4×8 sheet without both sides being chocked full of knots and imperfections that we would have spent hours filling. I use the term “we” loosely. I supervise pretty well but leave the labor to the Mr. We settled on particle board underlayment, smooth as a baby’s butt. Cutting that stuff with all the little angles and notches isn’t easy I am told. It’s harder to get it into place.
Strolling the store for a new toilet bowl wax ring brought great results! Take a look!
That was a nice surprise. When I asked the salesman why the elongated bowl he replied “it’s for boys and men, mostly”…. SOLD! I wheeled it out. Nice and the best thing…. clean sides without all the pipe showing so it can be wiped down. Never in my life did I think I would be excited over a new bowl of this type!
Onward with the bathroom redo! Next is tidying up the underlayment and putting down the flooring and new bowl!This is just after we pulled the ugly carpet but before the particle board.
