Out with the old, in with the new

In our triumphant return to working on the house, it was time to remove the busted old nasty yellowed lucite-handled shower and install....A NEW CAR!!!! Ooops, no. A new shower, ahem, "bath enclosure." The Sterling Accord is not a dependable car but sure is a faintcy shower. The look of tiles is impressed into plastic so you get all the satisfaction of cleaning tile...at a helluva less expensive price. Take a look at me busting up the old shower:

Both uncovered in the closet, not included are the punctured card of an Afro'd child from that game Guess Who



and a filthy red Barbie platform shoe. Heartwarming, no? More pictures of the erecting of the shower walls next time. Or maybe some video of CPVC cement drying, oooohhhh....
