I just spent an hour wandering around Home Depot looking at bathtubs and
surrounds. Then I took a spin through the greenhouse section on my way
out - gotta feel sorry for all those plants. And all those idjits
snapping them up. It's way too early for most of that stuff. They've got
columbine in there full and flowering, and I know damn well the
columbine in my yard is just coming up, even on the south side. There
were plants there in full bloom, and when you look at the tag it says
"flowers late summer to early fall". Well, what's it doing flowering
NOW?=20

What those people need to do the minute they get home is cut everything
they bought down about halfway, plant it, and see what happens. But they
won't, and by July their plants will be all leggy and spindly and sick
looking.

Anyhoo, I went looking at tubs and of course now I've decided I want a
whirlpool tub. My bathroom is hideous and I couldn't stand it anymore so
I bought one of those crescent shaped shower curtain rods and Halfast
came over and took down the stupid glass and gold doors and put up the
lovely brushed nickel rod. The glass doors just won't stop leaking so
they had to go.=20

The bathtub space is a little different. There's a five foot tub in
there, but it's a six foot space. So what the morons did was put a 5 ft
tub in that 6 ft space, and then they built a crappy wall at the 5 ft
mark so they could stick the cheap brownish almond colored surround on
it, encircling the cheap brownish almond colored tub. Then they dressed
that sow up with a big old bow made of beveled glass doors with gold
mounting and trim. Just like tying a ribbon on a pig.=20

Then again, I don't think they ever bothered to clean the tub because
there's a permanent ring around it, at about ankle height. You know,
where the water reaches when you shower. Until I chemically roto-rooted
out the drain up there shortly after I moved in, that is. A solution
that apparently eluded these retards.=20

But the cool thing about the crescent shaped curtain rod is we were able
to mount it to the outer wall, the 6 ft one, not the 5 foot one. Which
is great because first chance I get I'm taking a sledge hammer to that
wall.=20

Pictures at eleven. I should have taken before shots of the bathroom,
but taking a camera in there honestly never occurred to me. =20
