Adventures of a first-time homeowner, pt. 4

I didn't even want to come close to tackling painting the bathrooms that we had just textured. Texture was a big enough pain in the rear, so I left this one to the pros who did a remarkable job Saturday and did all 3 bathrooms in 5 hours.

While they were painting, the fetching Mrs. Wookie and I attended a do-it-yourself class and the local Lowe's. The next project is probably going to be tiling the floors in the 2 upstairs bathrooms. They are currently carpeted, which can get really rank in the bathroom. Tile is much easier to clean, and we wanted to learn all we could about how to lay tile.

So tiling the floors and a little on the walls. There's a horrible backsplash in the master bath that needs to be removed and the same as a strip in the shower.

This ought to be interesting.
