Ah, dear reader, I am now like you, able to enjoy the redo only in pictures.

Just wait til you see the stain! Might be the only time in my life as a mother where I welcome a stain with glee.
In other news, I used to rent an apartment with a garden tub and shelf much like the one we’re installing. It had a shower, too; not a separate stall. My parents had a shower/garden tub combo in their Pulte home built in 1993. Anyway, we’re having trouble spec’ing this for our contractor, specifically finding a garden tub that is non-jetted, steel, and can be used with a shower (i.e. has a lip). If ya’ll in internetland can help, we’d be much obliged
