Nesting

Now I have heard about women nesting and wanting to create a cozy space for their new baby or babies in our case :) I didn't think it meant I would have to tear out a ton of bathroom tile and a 400 pound cast iron tub! Yes Jeannie said she could not bare the thought of using our disgusting 60 year old tub to bath our babies so I agreed to put a new bathtub in. You might be thinking wow Matt's a musician and he knows how to remodel a bathroom, no... No I don't, but that is what contractor friends and YouTube are for.

I am the new HI TECH do it your selfer. I was running back and forth between the bathroom and the computer watching YouTube videos on how to effectively remove tile , how to remove tub spouts, and a video of a kitten and a duck who became best friends( come on it was cute!). That and a few panicked phone calls to my plumber friend Chuck Barnett and the tile is out. Next steps are to move old tub, put in new one, fix dry wall and tile. Simple right? I am sure a few more views on YouTube and I can do it all and maybe a little Kittens inspired by Kittens (go watch it on YouTube it makes Jeannie cry laughing!)
