So the other day Brian and I walked into the bathroom to find that the wall of the shower had started to collapse. So in the madness of the Christmas season we started to demo the bathroom. And as most people know, there is a small portion of me that has a little problem with germs, so you can laugh that I made the kids wear masks and gloves to their elbows but I can only imagine what kind of deadly germs live behind 25 year old walls...
They thought it was so fun and even helped me clean out phase one from the tub to begin ripping out the bench. Unfortunately under the tile that he is hitting above is, well, not much. So it appears it may add another step to figure out how to re-create the step or do away with it. They are excited to be destroying something and looking forward to picking out tile and rebuilding. I told them if we complete this successfully we may just start ripping up carpet too... I am sure Brian would be thrilled... And for anyone that knows him... yes, he was a nervous wreck that the kids were in there doing this and that we won't be able to fix it!! He did use this opportunity to pull entire sections of the walls down to show his children that he has some small part of him that is equivalent to, well, SUPERMAN! The look in their eyes as he is pulling off sections that are bigger than they are was priceless. They are convinced, beyond all doubt, that he is part SUPERHERO with super-human strength (and he loves every second of this fantasy for someday they will know the truth!)
