So my roommate had a shithole (no pun intended) of a bathroom. It didn't help that the stinky bastard (j/k nicky-poo) didn't clean the fucker out since he moved in 19 years ago. Anyhoo, due to the houses increasingly found build short cuts, it was just a big ole' piece of crap in general. The ceiling was leaking, the walls were rotten (who lays fucking straight drywall on a bathroom wall???!), the shower pipe was leaking, cracked and not even secured to the fucking wall joists etc etc etc.

So, first off, we had to start somewhere:


But wait, why is the wall still moist after not having been used in a week?! Oh yeah, that drywall issue. WTF? Rot rot rot.
That wouldn't do so it was demo time. Hooray for hammers and pick-axe things!


And after a week of on and off again work, and maybe 150 bucks total, there's a new bathroom shower, repaired walls, repaired water pipe, new pipe ends, new shower head, new light fixture and spanking sexy new tiles that are WATERPROOF Hooray!




What I learned in the process:
• demo is fun
• dremels, although able to cut through a 1/8" piece of stainless steel, can not cut through bathroom tile
• Home Depot will take back tile cutters and tile snippers even after being used extensively
• grout shrinks
• if you grout tile, don't cook sloppy joes and THEN wipe the tile off
• grounding light fixtures is for pussies. Real men rely on the black and white wires only
• I still don't know why a box of tampons were in the guest bathroom
• caulking is almost impossible to remove from a dogs back
• shop vacs really can suck up water from the toiletbowl after dropping a hammer in it
