Friday I decided leaving this crazy “bathtub wall” sticking out where I want my Christmas tree was not going to cut it.
So yesterday I tore out the studs.
And today a plumber came in and removed the tub and capped everything off properly.
There’s no going back now!
It’s fun using the toilet like this!
If we have guests over before I get it closed up, I’ll just tell them we have an “Open Bathroom Policy”.
Bwahahaha!

Love it! I know that there are people you don’t close the bathroom door, even if home alone. I am not one of those! I grew up with an extremely modest mother. When spending the night with friends or cousins, if a bathroom wasn’t available for changing, I would do so in the closet. I’m not quite that modest now, but I do draw the line to bathrooming with an audience.
Well I’m with you Beckie. I neither want to be seen nor do the seeing when it comes time to put a toilet to use! My worst nightmare in high school was the gym locker room! Ick!!
Oh Sandra. You do make me smile. Lisa~
I knew it!!! I knew that bathtub was going! I wouldn’t have even thought twice about it myself. I think you made a great decision and I can’t wait to see how it all looks when it’s finished!
Sandra,
How do you fix the floor where the wall bottoms were. Are you able to match the wood color somehow? Never seen anyone repair/replace the hardwood flooring in a house with needing to replace only a few small pieces; always they would replace the entire floor.
Hopped over to your face book page and read back a couple of months and I have one question for you – Do you ever sleep?

P.S. By taking out that closet and the tub (and imagining a wall there), it feels like the whole house just got a breath of fresh air. Does it feel like that to you?
Wow! I think it’s a great decision! And I admire your bravery…I have never gotten to the “tear out walls” phase of DIY!
