Picture this:

You’re 5 months pregnant and like many first time moms, you’re overly obsessive about your surroundings and what you put in your body. One Saturday, your hubby decides he’s going to re-caulk the shower. No big deal right?! In the process, he finds black mold. EVERYWHERE in the shower that you’ve been showering in for the last 5 months. Enter, hormonal pregnancy freak out.

This moment was our first unexpected project as homeowners…one of those, “welcome to owning a home” moments. Like many projects in an older house, this project started as something small and turned into something much bigger. What started as re-caulking tub turned into replacing the whole shower.

Oddly enough, we didn’t do too many DIY or Fixer Upper projects in our first house. The only thing we tackled was replacing the garage roof. However, in our second house, we tackled more projects. You can see more about your house journey here.
