    I just had a flashback to junior high shop class. I had some experience with tools, having made a go-cart out of lawnmower, and other hair-brained projects. But I just couldn't do shit with wood working.

    The project was to build a bookend! two damn pieces of wood connected at right angles. I couldn't do it. I cut the shape out crooked. All the other kids had perfect looking bookends. It was the most traumatic and humiliating experience of my life, in or out of the bedroom. I cried at night over that bookend.

    I've been to the Kohler design site. They were the only ones who carried a gray tiled-in kitchen sink. I also used them for the sink (and I believe faucet in my bath)

    I gotta say, in this bathroom here:

    I'd have a hard time refraining from urinating on Mickey's head.

    Boom. Boom. Crash. The old bathroom now lives in a dumpster in the driveway.




    That fucking toilet's like a poltergeist.

    Nothing like demo time. Ripping everything apart is the fun part.

    Nutz's dad would kill Mike Holmes and bury him in the dumpster after dismembering him.

    No to the door, it's hollow. No to the woodwork. Although Maybe I should talk to him about that since it's not in the dumpster.

    There was a bunch of water making its way through the tile and wallboard in that corner of the bathroom....and it looks like a few other spots as well. Take the time and tape those vapor barrier seams and any holes in it on that exterior wall.

    My dad is an idiot who has never done this sort of thing before so your advice is paramount to this bathroom job being a complete success, please keep it coming. Skin is also an idiot for hiring an incompetent moron.

    For god sakes the man has only been sued 6 times, for contract work that is groovy beans.

    I am sorry that your bathroom is going to look like this for the next 6 months.
