7 weeks + 0 Days: Now is the Time (to get the bathroom done!)

As most of our loved ones know, a good part of our master bathroom has been torn down to the studs for a long time now.  What started as an innocent DIY project became an "oh, crap" project.  So, we got a little repair money from my car accident, and we decided to put it towards getting the bathroom done.  This meant getting the partition wall removed (which separated the vanity area from the toilet/shower area) and then framing a doorway between the bathroom and master bedroom (which was just a giant opening in the wall with no way to close the bathroom off from the bedroom).  Since the shower was torn down to the studs, we need the shower surround waterproofed and then tiled.  So - the work is well underway and I could not be happier!!!  The only remaining DIY will be removing and replacing the toilet, and painting; both well within our wheelhouse(s).  Sounds about right for us right now!

There's no better motivation to get a bathroom fixed than a pregnant lady just getting more pregnant!

 

This view is now unimpeded by the partition wall, which would be obsuring the toilet and inducing my claustrophobia if it was still there:

 

 

 

This is the reflection in the mirror - of our whole bathroom as one big, open space (it kinda echos now!):
