They said it was Easy

We have a tiny master bathroom. I think it’s called a split bath. Well that fiberglass tub shower combo thing had to go. Almost 40 years old, impossible to clean and just not good.

So I demolished it. Put new Sheetrock on the studs and the the kitchen and Bath folks got to work. Now we have s nice modern shower but the popcorn ceiling had to go!

So I’ve heard many times how easy it is to remove the popcorn. Well, yes it comes off easy but what’s left behind is not nice. The rest was not so easy.

So I had to mud coat the entire ceiling thankful it’s small. Then sand. OMG. Dust everywhere. Then prime and paint. Two coats primer one of paint. starting to look like we wanted. After I finish painting the walls then it’s remove the toilet and tile. Then reset the toilet and I’ll be done.

Man does that look great Jeff.   

My small master bath came in PINK.  Tile, tub, sink, even vinyl floor (pink and white design).  I've hated it for 30 years, but it was all in nice shape.  At least it's all a soft pale pink and not a hot pink.   

And my wife and I (when I had one) each had our own bathroom, so she got the pink one and I got the half bath with a shower stall downstairs, and that remains my principle bathroom.  I hate showering in a bathtub, and like a flat floor stall much better.  A few years ago, I redid MY bathroom with new tile, paint, trim and all fixtures to my liking (not fancy, but new and clean).

The pink one I pee in when I'm upstairs.   And the geniuses that designed it put a window in the shower wall.
