In all of your recent posts, it seems like you guys seriously have it together and all figured out. It was fun to read through this project and see your learning process. Not to mention, it was nice to read about what it was like when you juggled work and DIY and blogging. Awesome! I loved this post.

Good luck with everything! xo, s

Hey Patti,

We’re not sure if a demolition hammer would be as easy to use on the walls as the floor, but perhaps you can call the rental department of any local home improvement center and get their take on it. Good luck with everything!

I started mine today (the set up is just like yours in terms of wire mesh and mortar) and I'm exhausted--already! I seemed to recall (in the middle of my project) that you rented a tool and sure enough you did. Will you confirm that it will work on the walls and the floors? The thought of swinging that sledgehammer one more time brings tears to my eyes.... John–

We wish there was a secret product that did all the work for us, but I'm afraid elbow grease is the way to go. Hope it helps! xo, s

I am saving my tub, so want to minimize the scratches to it, and was wondering what the easiest way you found to remove the grout? The plastic thing (technical term) I am using is taking a TON of elbow grease! THANKS! Question:

Since we've been snowed in the past two days there has been some in-sink hair washing and washcloth bathing while standing on the bath mat in the half-bathroom but no more outdoor showering. It's just too cold for that business! xo, s

Especially with all the snow we got here on the east coast, I saw you mentioned something about an outdoor shower?? how are you guys contending with the lack of a shower while you’re working on this project??

We even thought about the wainscoting option for our bathroom but since we couldn't save the floor we opted to go the full monty and just hang new drywall on the walls. Since you're saving your floor though, wainscoting is a great way to achieve a totally fresh look that stays true to the era of your home. Hope it helps! xo, s
