I’ll just sum up the ordeal of overhauling the shower, which had to be done, trust me.  Façades can be deceiving.  It was like a dank, hideous nightmare of stupidness under there, once revealed in all its horror.  It’s a wonder anyone even took showers in there.  We almost gagged to death.

Misu and I are just keeping a safe distance, “supervising” or “helping”.  Mostly Misu is hiding behind things while extremely loud machinery is screeching.  I’m hauling off disgusting debris and watching the sparks fly.

E is actually doing all the real work herself, of course.  It took a lot of planning and getting her nerve up.  It’s a daunting project, but coming along nicely.  Here are before and during shots.

Before the dig:

Misu supervising/hiding:

E hard at work tearing it up and rebuilding, including the dreaded plumbing fix:

Installing her framing for the eventual shower insert:

Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion.
