Remember awhile back when I mentioned that we had animals living under our tub?  Well we found evidence.  Check out these scratch marks.

I think the animals pulled down lots of the insulation while living under there.  The animals come back every year, so I think this happened over time….I think.

Since there will be a wee one on the other side of this wall soon we thought it would be wise to replace the missing insulation.

This is a shot from Grayson’s closet.  See how close the two rooms are.

The next step by my heroes, I mean my husband and father-in-law was to patch the walls with concrete board and joint compound.

The guys were doing great sealing up the wall and filling in the crack until I noticed they were using the wrong product to do so.

You see, the tile adhesive and joint compound are in very similar tubs, and I’m not going to name names or anything, but someone picked up the wrong bucket and went to town filling in cracks with tile adhesive….not joint compound.

(all of the white is tile adhesive later to be covered by joint compound…in pink)

Once the geniuses, I mean guys, were about three fourths of the way done I walked into the bathroom to check in on the status.  I do this because leaving all the details and decisions to the men doesn’t always work out.  Hence, the tile adhesive being used as joint compound.  I really hope my wall stays UP.  I’ll keep you posted.

The joint compound/tile adhesive took WAY WAY  WAY too long to dry, but we waited it out anyway.  Once the walls were dry, Derek moved on to tiling.
