[QUOTE="slsh, post: 47144, member: 8"] OK, DDD... I'm going to share a secret with- you and a couple hundred of my closest friends. [img]:wink:[/img] Remember when you redid your bathroom, probably 5-6 years ago? I think you painted it... want to say peach? There was possibly also a discussion of the merits of wallpaper versus paint at the time, I think. At the same time, we were a couple of months into our bathroom redo. I had gotten a tad manic in my cleaning, decided to redo the caulk at the base of the tiled tub enclosure, only to discover when I pulled the old caulk off that I was enveloped in a lovely mold-smelling cloud. I did a simply *awesome* job of tearing out all the tile, installing green board, and getting it taped and mudded. It's beautiful, really. Tub layed on its side for... oh, I don't know, 3 years? husband finally did get it (almost) back to where it's supposed to be. A year ago, Boo broke the new surround (probably now antique surround) we bought for the tub... or actually, his wheelchair did as it ran over the surround that has been sitting in the garage since we started the "project". husband installed the linoleum last summer, kinda. Still have to get the last 5" section in by the back wall. My back crashed badly again last week. husband watched me literally crawl up the stairs to get to bathroom, and stayed home the next day to re-install downstairs toilet. [img]:bravo:[/img] Weeburt, whose formerly charmingly biting wit is now evolving into a rather sharp and unappreciated teen nastiness, informed us just this evening, unsolicited, that he would be 40 before we get the shower finished and by then it won't matter because we'll be dead and he'll be in his own home.
