Lots of movement ...

Since the window, there has been some good progress.  First and foremost, we got our tub!  We were really excited and surprised when it showed up on our doorstep.  I was about to go downstairs to start working (from home) and Ariane was about to leave for work when the doorbell rang.  I, of course, thought 'WTF' and opened it to see a delivery guy and a Ferguson truck outside.  He said he had a bathtub delivery!  I was surprised because I had planned to pick it up from Aurora that evening and didn't expect a delivery at all ... Ferguson was just being nice!

So, the guy helped me carry it upstairs and put it in the bedroom -- and it looks great!  It'd probably look better in its final resting place, but it is still a nice big tub!  Ariane especially likes it and that's what's important here, right?

Here's some pics of the new plumbing job.  After watching a very experienced plumber spend all day doing this, I am pretty glad I had someone else do it!

Before:

Old heater.	Old shower drain.
Old stupid vent pipe.	Capped off shower lines.
Vanity wall.	Shower view.

That same day, the plumber was coming to move all the plumbing for the vanity and bathtub.  He arrived at about 9:30 and didn't leave until about 6 so you can imagine the cost.  However, everything is just about ready for the tub and THAT is great!   The only thing left to do before installing the tub is to have the city do an underground plumbing inspection (under-floor) and for me to add some plywood to the floor under the tub.  That plywood should add about 1.5" which will allow for the drain to go over the floor joist to connect to the overflow instead of run right into it, which wouldn't work.

After:

SO glad I didn't have to do this part.  Ugh.
