decided to do more than I initially planned with the bathroom. I was going to leave the old oversized mirror and the 19 year old wallpaper up. But after consulting with Dave and Chris, Hubby and I decided a total update was in order. Dave had just done a fantastic job in replastering the cracked vaulted ceiling. A new paint job was in order. We just decided to extend the paint to the entire bathroom as well. I'll post my pictures of before, during, and after the remodel. I'm proud of the bathroom so far. Even built my own 3 part niche while the drywall was down. $6K and lots of elbow grease spent so far. Will probably end up somewhere at $8K when all is done. Pretty good considering a bathroom remodel is about $15K these days.

ordered. I'll show my husband and see what he thinks.

draining sink was the culprit. Cleaned it up using a hand snake (Lowe's for less than $5) and a rinse with hot water and Borax. Now I just pour 1/4 cup of Borax and rinse with hot water once a month or when I remember to do so. No more smell.
