It's a work in progress!!!

We decided that we better redo the guest bathroom before the baby comes , so we have been working on that for the past few weeks. The tile was previously a peach/white marbley swirl with flowers on it...YIKES!! The countertop was a lovely peach/pink color, and we decided it all had to go. Supposedly if you hit the tiles with a hammer they will crack and then detach from the wall, but we didnt have much luck with that. After trying it for about 30 minutes, Adam decided that it would be easier and faster to just cut the drywall with the tile out and re-drywall and then tile. It was a little scary, but it worked so much better and saved us a lot of headache also. So far we have re-tiled the shower, countertop, and backsplash. We still have to finish grouting, sealing, caulking, refinishing the cabinets, paining, and tiling the floor!! Here are some pictures of it so far, and we will post some more when it is all finished.

Bare bones...no its not moldy insulation, just a lot of dirt!!
