The Banida Boys and Joy

For those of you who have been to our house and seen the bathroom you know this project was way overdue but we put it off as the thought of no bathroom for our family of 7 was a little overwhelming. This did take longer than anticipated and was a lot of hard work but we think it was very worth the effort. We took the old tub out and stripped the old lath and plaster to make room for the new and improved bathroom--take a look! By the way---a HUGE thankyou to Grandma Christensen and the use of her bathroom over the course of our 3 week project.


Getting closer....the tub is in and the drywall up.


Just as we finished installing the last of the trim our septic system stopped working. We ended up having this backhoe come to dig into our drain field. We had a plugged drainfield pipe so after replacing some pipe and putting a load of rock out in our drain field we were set to have every aspect of our bathroom like new.


The Finished Product!
