beware the casual dinner invite

I might just put you to work while you're here ;-p. Don't worry, at least you'll have a cheering squad.

In other words, my dad and brother came over.
There was a lot of pointing, grunting, and adjusting but not a single cross word uttered and not a dent left behind.
and by the end of the day the cast iron tub had made the fateful voyage from upstairs bathroom to front porch.
Maybe probably admittedly, there were a few scuff marks and dirty looks but I'm ok with that!

The remaining rotten floor felt so lonely that it broke up and moved downstairs as well. Crowbars may have been used to coax it along.


At least the dinner I invited the laborers family to wasn't taking place at my own house! Thanks Pastor Joe and associated youth group, the spaghetti and dessert were GREAT.


Now, who wants an antique clawfoot tub?!

Those old claw foot tubs are so pretty! If I had the right house for one, I would take it in a heart beat. They also make great water troughs for horses and cows, my Grandpa had one in his barnyard for years. :)

What a job! Whew!! Maybe somebody will want to make a Mary-in-the-bathtub shrine for the front lawn!

are you on craigslist or a freecycle for your area? i agree that it is a great tub, with a little tlc.

Also a donation to a Re-Store (for Habitat) would be an excellent idea.
