Here are a few snaps ~ the new, new undermount tub looks OK and it's beginning to take shape ~ easier to see what we're working towards. Cats are happy the crew is gone for the day!

Disregard the hot pink lumber ... that was the framing for the beautiful drop-in Portrait bathtub that will be going back to the manufacturer, per Plumber #2. Don't ask about plumber #1, although he may have made the right decision to "no-show" two weeks ago. We will be installing a rectangular under-mount tub with a granite topper. It will still be pretty, but the Portrait tub was my vision for this bathroom. Juan will have to reframe the area to support the drop in tub and granite slab.
In this photo of the cabinets the mirrors haven't been removed and the old shower plumbing is still hanging from the ceiling where a wall was taken out. That will come down when Plumber #2 gets back. You'll notice that you can see Elvis through the giant hole in the bathroom floor ... it's a great view from the living room & provides easy access for the dust to flow through the house.
