Our home was built-in the early 1800’s and is part of the 200-year-old family farm we live on.
I have a very small bathroom and it’s the only bathroom in the house. We don’t have a bathtub and our shower is an antique surround of metal which is in bad need of repair. I would like to buy a new shower but the old one sets up on a concrete foundation and is embedded with concrete. Until we become rich (NOT) we’ll make do with what we have.
You have to remember that our house has been in the family for at least four generations and the bathroom facility was put in when hubby was a wee one, 65+ years ago, we think!! YES I DO LOVE OLD THINGS! Anyway, here’s what it looked like before I made some minor repairs/touch-ups a couple of months ago:

Exterior of the shower walls is being sanded and reinforced for strength and to keep the water in the shower.

Corners of the shower are rusting out really bad and hubby found a cement solution to reinforce the metal framing and it’s waterproof.
It took two weeks and the changes are not major but it’s much nicer taking a shower in what is new to me.
This was a pretty good start to my retirement and now on to bigger challenges.
Your shower looks great! You did a great job. Let’s hope it lasts another 65+ years!

I was planning to visit you this week or next but now have three orphans that are taking up a lot of my time. I’ll still try to get there sometime next week or maybe this weekend. Let me know what your schedule is for both.
