Before you get too excited, this isn't Meg. This is Kasey guest-blogging for Meg.
This past week began the overhaul of Meg and Aaron's master bathroom. Still in the demolition stage, but showing lots of progress and potential already. This project started out as an "I want to tile my bathroom" idea. It didn't take much discussion and math to figure out that before we went to the trouble of tiling, we should rip out a wall and add a door to maximize the utility and square footage of the bathroom. Fun!
We started this project after 3 hours of painting at my house (not pictured), so we were pretty wiped out by the time we called it a day.
Meg's hammer was no match for the cabinet above the toilet. She needed a bigger hammer, anyway!

Meg conquered her fear of things that slither and bite and went underneath her house for the very first time! Not only did she crawl down there, she found the appropriate wire and identified where to drill the new hole to pull the wire up through a different wall to it's new gang box. That was definitely the highlight of the day in terms of accomplishing things that were intimidating! Thanks to Aaron for tackling the drilling-above-your-head portion of this activity.
Meg, is that electrical tape on your lap??
Tah dah! Wires are re-routed and most of the studs have been removed. Next step is pulling the wires up into the attic and back down (it was too hot that day!) and pulling down the giant studs that were over the old doorway.
Next week, look for a new door to be framed in, a new vent fan/light and hopefully, some sheetrock!

Hi, kiddos- Hey Chuck--did you know you had married Wonder Woman when you said "I do?!" Wow, you guys are amazing with all this do-it-yourself stuff. Good luck with your bathroom remodel. I've been re-doing our master bathroom, but I didn't have the guts to knock down walls! When are you going to come to Dallas to see us again? (duh---not til after the bathroom is finished!) Hopefully we'll see you at Jana's wedding, anyway.
