Well Carrie, because you didn't get to help me redo the bathroom, here is how it is done.

First strip all the walls of old material. Then clean the tub using a single-edged razor blade, followed by stripper scrubbed with 000 steel wool, followed by very fine wet/dry sandpaper and finished with denatured alcohol.




Have Cheri convince you to replace the faucets with new and very shiny ones. See how the new shower head will be firmly attached to the wall!


Do a pressure check on the installed fixtures before closing them in the wall and tile.


Then put up the wallboard.
Decide to change the drain, requiring a plumbing job along with the tub refinishing. But now I am out of screws and can't finish putting up the backing board for the tile.
Next time, Repainting the Tub.

When will I get to come and see all the hard work? Too bad I can't come when Carrie comes for her January break, I'll be in school then. I hope your classes are going well.
