Our home has two full bathrooms in it right now.
When we moved in, both of the showers had sliding glass doors. I do not like sliding glass doors, especially cleaning them.
I believe we took the boys’ shower door down the week we moved in, but the one in my and Cy’s bathroom has stayed.
Partly because I knew we would be tearing it down once we built our new master bath in the addition.
But like I said, I do not like sliding shower doors. It makes me feel all Closter phobic when I am taking a shower. And they get all gross and dirty in the sliding trays. Ugh!
Plus, our shower doors had a mirror on one half. Not cool.
Who really wants to see themselves as they sit on the toilet? Not me!!
So on New Year’s Eve day, I had had enough!
I KNOW that we are going to be gutting this bathroom in the next couple of months, but I couldn’t take it any longer!!
First I took the doors off their tracks…
There is our lovely window in the shower. Aaaah, gorgeous, right? {insert sarcastic look}
After removing the doors, I just needed to unscrew the frame from the wall.
There were several screws in each side to be removed.
Once I took the screws out, I just had to pull the frame off the wall. This was a little hard in places, so I used a box knife to help scored the caulk.
Then I yanked, and pulled, and pulled, and yanked.
I had to get Cy to help me with one part that just wouldn’t come off, but we finally did it!
Much better already!!
After removing the frame, you will be left with some caulk on the tile which can easily be removed with a blade.
See the little red plastic thingy where the screw used to be? I just left mine there because we will be tearing this whole shower down soon.
But if we weren’t, I would remove that red thing (I know it has a name, but it escapes me.) and fill it up with a little white bathroom caulk. You’d never notice it!
Since I didn’t want to spend any money on this bathroom (that will be non-existent in a couple months), I just bought a tan shower curtain from Lowe’s.
Didn’t even iron it, girls! And it doesn’t bother me one bit!
It looks pinkish in this picture, but it isn’t.
I love it so much better than the sliding shower doors, that I am lovin’ life when I take a shower now!
It took me about 30 minutes to take down that shower door. So, so easy!
Eventually, this room will just have the toilet in it, the door entry will be walled up, and the window will lead into our new master bath!
I cannot wait!!
