In demolishing my bathroom, DH has encountered two fairly substantial issues that would have, if left unchecked 1) flood our basement and cause a cave-in from upstairs bathroom to downstairs bedroom, and 2) burn down our house.
So the upside to the bathroom demo is that...we still have our house and that it's fairly in-tact.
The whole bathroom still isn't entirely demo'd but the shower is and the vanity. DH has gotten the shower to a point where it only needs tile now. He's patched the wall behind the vanity and created a recessed shelving unit next to where the new vanity will be.
Yesterday, he decided a new window was in order. As we have all the windows for the whole house out back, he opted to put on in. It looks like it's a lot of effort but imagine the feelings of accomplishment!
Here's a shot of what the window looked like just a few moments ago... 
Here's a shot a few seconds later...
I'm lovin' that I can actually see out of a window again...here's the before pic just for the sake of full appreciation... .JPG)

wowsahs! isnt it crazy the things you find out when you take on home improvement projects?
that's one beauty of a window!! for such a teeny bathroom, having all that extra natural light will be awesome =)
oh, and does hubby know he's uh, "starring" in that one shot? LOL!
I like the almost butt shot and the green carpet myself :)
You are amazing! Thanks again for the call last light, it felt soooo good to have a conversation with someone that cares.
josey: it really just makes me wonder what's under all the rest of the drywall in my house... crazy!
rachel: remember the smell I told you about associated with that green carpet when i moved in? the previous owner's perfume when it was steamy in the room - GROSS!
Fun! I know that is tons of hard work!
You have done so much to that house, it looks amazing, I bet you are so so glad to get rid of that nasty nasty perfume smell of the old owner. I am suprised that room wasn't the first to go. you have made that house very nice you both should feel proud.
