Bathroom reno number two

... or is it just the first one continuing after a seven year smoko?

Well, what a year this is already! Okay, so now we have new plumbing throughout the house. Due to the increased water pressure a few taps started to leak. No big deal, right, change the washers? Well, the bathroom ones needed new taps, so we went out and bought new ones, no probs. The problem was that sixty years of corrosion meant those taps weren't going ANYWHERE, so the whole sink had to come out to get the taps off. Silicone cut. Still not budging. Push, grunt, hammer - RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP. Oops. That didn't sound good. Oh dear, there goes the laminate top off the cabinet. Oh well, time for a change and a whole new cabinet!! Let's face it, the old chipboard cabinet with the lime green bench top (WHICH I might add, I actually loved - am thinking of painting one of the walls in the same lime green now as I'm sure I'm going to miss its cheerful presence!!) had to go. So JB is in there as we speak, hammering away, getting rid of the old and making way for the new. Looks like he'll have to do some tiling tomorrow as well as the plumming and cabinet making. Thank God I married a man who knows how to use his hands. ;-)
