please excuse the mess

So we moved into the new house on Monday, and I can't believe it is only Thursday, because as hard as we've been working, it feels like we have been there a month. Amid fighting fleas and tackling termites, we have managed to get about 80% of the boxes unpacked, and Todd has already begun the renovation of the bathroom.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any "before" shots prior to Todd jumping into the project, so if you didn't get to see it in person, just imagine that walls used to be here-- except that they were all moldy and mildewy and basically falling apart and crumbling into the shower.

Here's the demo progress...

Taking it all down to the studs

I love that, in this shot, you can see Todd's "Axe" bath sponge hanging from the shower head (he is still determinedly using the shower--I am opting to utilize the facilities at the Y.)

I'm calling this series "The (re)Making of Mansfield Manor." Stay tuned for more updates.
