Morning all.

My old bachelor pad house had a hole in the wall behind the dining room table that allowed access to the back of the bath tub. It was a nice textured piece of sheet-rock with a nice looking trim piece to frame it. It was held in place with a neat little clip.

The bathtub was a cast iron pink tub with 100% non standard faucet that I think was unique to the world. Every few years I had to take the entire fixture off and haul it to a local faucet repair place for him to put new seals in it. It had two separate knobs that were about 28 inches apart. It was a pink & green tile bathroom.

Of course the carpet in the house was gold shag carpet.

When I did that bathroom remodel I decided I would never ever again do anything like it again myself. That resembled real work. Oh and the toilet was pink as well.

I had to gut it to the studs on the subfloor, and remove every bit of sheetrock except the ceiling. The old toilet was connected to a lead drain which I had to have replaced.

One cool thing is the medicine cabinet had a little slot in the back of it. You could drop a used razor blade in the slot and it just fell to the dirt under the house. There was a decent pile of rusty razor blades from previous owners.
