Yeah, I could make a duck pond with the old tub! I don't have ducks, but I could have a duck pond!

Or maybe a watering trough for goats?
Goats are cool, ya no?

And CUTE!! And devious, and smart.

Thank you! Hubby is taking the inaugural shower right now! I will take my shower next. Can't wait to do it. 3 days of sink/sponge baths and I feel ... icky.

The new shower is... wonderful. The mixer valve thingie mixes the temp of the water really fast! No more turning the handle, waiting 15 seconds and seeing if it's warmer enough. And then saying YEOW! as it suddenly becomes really hot.

I'll be calling Your Shower Door tomorrow. Today got a bit derailed by other things.

It's just as ugly on the outside as on the inside. If we were to make it an "in ground" pond, it would fill up with leaves in a week.

I really think it would look much better in a 20 yard dumpster.

Is it cast iron? You could get money from a scrapyard/recycler.

Nope, just ugly fiberglass in the popular 70s/80s almond color.

Definitely dumpster worthy! Old bathtubs used to have afterlives as horse water troughs around here. Hardly anyone has horses anymore and the old old tubs got popular…

Yesterday we went to Your Shower Door and ordered, what else? a shower door. We went to them because the kits we saw at Menards looked like they'd be a pita to install, and even more of crap shoot to get home. Bringing home the fiberglass shower panels was one thing; 30x78 inch sheets of glass would be a whole 'nother.

The kits we saw at Menards were 1/4" or 5/16" thick glass. YSD has 3/8" thick, and they come measure, order to size, and do the installation. Yes, we're paying more (probably a lot more) for that. Total cost is $2157. We paid for two upcharges: a rainfall pattern texture and a special coating to seal it, which was $667 of the price.

Since this is our "forever" home and it's (hopefully!) a one-and-done remodel, I'm fine with the price. There was enough angst in this project for both of us to last a long time.
