The Bathroom

On Monday, I started ripping up some of the peel-n-stick tile in our "master" bathroom... I use that term lightly since the "master" bathroom is freakin' TINY!

Here's what I've done so far...





As you can see, the people/dumbasses that owned the house before us, put non-waterproof peel-n-stick tile OVER the existing linoleum... but why, you may ask...? If you look closely on the second picture, you can see where they tried to pull/peel/scrape off the linoleum, but did not succeed... so decided to just put peel-n-stick tile over it. Also, they did not remove the toilet before placing the tile... so I didn't have to remove the toilet to remove the tiles. In fact, those were the easiest tiles to remove, other than the ones that were water-logged from the shower door leaking. Nice, eh?

Admit it... you *LOVE* that linoleum pattern, don't you??

Either way, I have about 5.5 tiles left to pull up... and then I need to get out the Goo Gone and get rid of all the sticky, gooey glue from the linoleum. After that, I can take down the mirror and medicine cabinet (I'm thinking about painting it a different color) and prep the room for painting. I'm putting on a mildew-resistant primer and then a light turquoise blue top coat (to match our comforter). Then, when we have a little extra cash, we can put down some new waterproof flooring... that will be exciting (for me, not Sam).

I shall keep you posted on the slow, but eventual, progress.
