And the award for the longest bathroom remodel in the history of Lottabusha County and possibly all of Mississippi goes to [insert drum roll here please] Suzassippi! Technically, this remodel has been going on for 6 years because you have to count the year we tore it all out and it sat for 6 months with no tub. Which, actually did not matter anyway since when this tub was finally installed in August of 2010 it still could not be used.
Yesterday, almost 5 years since getting that tub in place, I started tiling. Tiling is art, and it takes a lot of physical labor along with it in order to produce stunning results. Results like our first bathroom remodel, which only took 4 years.
It seems like not a lot was accomplished yesterday, although it took two weekends of prep work to get those 5 rows of tile finished. I’m not certain if I can stand up to another 5 rows today, but I am hoping for a post-ibuprofen miracle and a burst of enthusiasm for making art through hard labor.
Update after day 2: How’s this for one wall of artwork? Rand gets to take credit for the idea of the design to spice it up a bit. We used crown molding on our shower, but planned to stay with plain bullnose in the hall bath. Can’t wait to finish this up now that I have finally gotten started!

Yeah, five years sounds about right around here. So does six for that matter. “I will decorate no home before its time.”
You just made my day!
Only 5 years! You’re flyin’ by my standards. Looks great.
And there I thought it was just me, and there’s two of you who may be just as slow! LOL Thanks, Jean!
I’d say infinitely slower in my case!!!
