Day 1 of the Remodel

So they got down all the tile and put in the new tub. They forgot to turn back on the hot water, but quickly came back out to fix that. Thank heavens, three mad neighbors are not what I need!

And my favorite part of today: I found an old coke bottle in the walls! The walls are still open from the plumbing today —tomorrow is the rebuild day — so, of course, I had to look around in them.

Here's a picture. Getting this shot was a challenge, but I had to do it.


I am constantly fascinated that contractors leave trash in the walls. Just leave it there. Yes, it becomes a find in 70 years, but it's still a little gross.

And to all those haters of selective coloring: I know selective coloring is considered passé, but I am doing it for a couple shots that I am going to hang in the bathroom when it's all done. It's a black and white bathroom, so I wanted black and white shots, but certain colors I thought were important. I don't know, sometimes, you have to do passé if it speaks to you artistically. Here's the other selective color image I want to hang in there, it's my old, broken soap dish. So if you are going to hate, do it in full force!!
