My husband and I decided to take out the tub and put in a shower in the front bathroom. We looked around and got some estimates and decided what we wanted. I am to the point that the less scrubbing the better. I didn’t want grout around tile to deal with. I wanted a smooth finish. And I got it. Well, I will in a few days.

This is a wall covering that is like the man-made granite you put on a kitchen countertop. It is manufactured to your size and then put in. I had a bench built so I could sit and shave my legs. It is smooth and has no rough grout to hold and grow mold. It will have a glass door when it is finished, and I bought a shower squeegee, so I won’t have water spots on the glass.

It seems the older we get the more we need and want the simple things in life. Comfort before style and beauty. It gets harder to step into a tub, and comfort is the name of the game. I think we will have both comfort and beauty this time around.

It’s not finished yet, but the picture shows what it looks like now and the tub before. I know we’re going to enjoy it. I’ll show you pictures when the shower is finalized.

Here’s to comfort in our old age!
