Ambitious.  Or Maybe Just Crazy.

Wake up one Saturday morning and look at a perfectly functional bathroom and think, “I hate orange bathrooms.  And since I’m going to repaint the walls and replace that ugly tile on the floor, I might as well replace that 50-year-old bathtub… .”

Demolition is what Tiggers do best!

(P.S. For those keeping score at home, this is not the bathroom I was working on before – that one remains a work in progress, on hold while waiting for some parts to come.)

  1. So you’re redoing two bathrooms concurrently?  Holy cow.  You do leave me lost in admiration, sir.  :)

  2. And look!  He’s installed an emergency toilet there in the back corner.

    What I want to know is why I look at the second picture and see the hint of a poster bed.  I propose that ‘mouse compile all his construction photos, so that I might better psychoanalyze myself.

  3. Do the people who live in this house resent these two bathroom remodels or appreciate them? 

    I loves me a productive kinda guy.

  4. Interesting idea.  Construction-photo-based Rorshack (sp?) test for manly men.

    Snow, it was my wife’s comment, “I find you’re kinda sexy when you’re working hard and being productive” that fostered this current obsession.  Of course I think that comment was just a trick.  She really wants me too beat up and exhausted to bother her for sex.  That she gets a nice house all fixed up on the cheap is just a bonus to her.

    Overall, the ‘mouse family is patient and supportive amongst the chaos, else I wouldn’t bother.  I think they know, one unkind word from any of them and I pack my toolbelt and walk.

  5. Hey, I saw the four-poster, too… even before reading Keith’s comment. However, I think the shape you created in removing the tub/tile/etc. is far too well determined to be part of a Rorschach-type test.

    Isn’t it curious to see how little substance there is in those oh-so-solid-looking walls that separate the inside of your house from the big world outside? In many houses, one could almost as easily break in through a wall as through a well-constructed door, but most people don’t perceive walls as being penetrable.

    The intersection between buildings and psychology really get me going… :-)

  8. uh-oh. the box I’m typing this message in the mouse-blog in is titled “scrine live preview”

  9. What?  Are you trying to make me crazy? 

    (crazier, standing by, ready on a moments notice)

  10. crazy is as crazy does.  I may tear out bathrooms, but I am not crazy enough to try to build blogs and scrines and scrineblogs and scrinecasts and man I’m tired just typing all that.  You da man/god ‘round these parts.

  11. i think we’ll have to change the ‘crazy’ to ‘lazy’ if we don’t see some more production on your end ‘mou.)

  12. Does the lack of an update in nearly a month mean the bathroom still looks like that? That’s a long time to be using an “emergency toilet”.
