I was sitting in our bathroom the other day, on the edge of the tub, looking at the naked, white walls, thinking about how depressing and dirty they looked when it hit me. If I paint the walls, and remove the gunk from around the tub, this could be a very cute and cozy place to take a bath!
So my plan was set in motion. Josh and I went to Walmart and bought caulking, paint and hole filler and headed back home to begin my project. However, when I removed the...gunky moisture barrier from around the tub, you know, the stuff that's supposed to keep the water out of your walls...guess what I found. That's right, folks! Rotten boards! Yum!
This means that I have to replace the walls around my bathtub. This means that any money that I may or may not have put aside for buying a new exterior front door will now go towards the overhaul of our bath area. GAH! On a lighter note, I painted the walls a lovely colour of warm goldy brown that Josh chose and so far the bathroom looks quite nice. I also let dry the rotten wall and plastered it with a nice thick layer of waterproof bathroom caulking. So...if all goes as planned, I will be able to hold out on the replacement of the entire wall for a little while longer.
Now, yesterday I registered for all of my classes, and man, is that a load off of my mind! I am so excited to finally be heading to University after all this time. My deposit is in, my New Student Orientation booked, my OSAP funding guaranteed and my book list begun. Now if only I could get Josh to finish painting the spare bedroom so we can get some pictures out to prospective tenants!
All in good time, I suppose.
Anyways...today is a good day. Apart from Shad fly season having just begun (ewwwwwwww...it smells like dead fish downtown, which is where I work...right in the thick of shad fly hell) I am quite content. Also, today is Toonie Tuesday at the Nutty Chocolatier, two scoops of iced cream for two dollars! Yay!
