So, we are about to have some house guests, which always makes me feel extra critical about the house. In particular, our upstairs bathroom is really gross. I want to rip the whole thing out (and probably will someday soon), but in the meantime, I just need to make it work better and be a little less gross.
So: Project 1: Clean the skylight window.
We have an awesome skylight in this room. It's actually a window that tilts, so you can release the hot, steamy air up into the shaft that goes to the skylight on the roof. The problem is that paint in the light shaft has been peeling and other dustiness covered the window with grime.

looking straight up- see all the peeling paint?

after a lot of windex and scrubbing- the window is clear. now you can see the peeling paint better!
Project 2: Recaulk the Tub
The caulk around the tub has turned black

i got a paint scraper and flathead screwdriver and started peeling out the old caulk and excess grout

all clean.
There is SO much to do in here- but these two small projects make it a little more hospitable for our house guests.
