three way

Do you remember that part on “What Not to Wear” when Stacy and Clinton would shove someone into the 360 mirror and all the cameras would pan around, making certain to capture every unflattering angle possible. Well if you thought that was bad then prepare yourself. Apparently, the previous owners thought a 360 mirror would be a great idea in the bathroom. Okay, maybe it’s not a 360 mirror, but it is a 3 way one (like they have in dressing rooms) and it does afford quite a view! That’s right, because who doesn’t want to be able to see themselves from 50 different angles while they’re taking care of business? 

Yea... we didn’t think so...

{ready for demolition... and yet another fine use for duct tape}

{don’t let those cute swirls fool you... somebody got all enthused at the idea of the triple mirror and gorilla glued those suckers to the wall}

{and the view down below... my youngest brother - the guy in charge of this one - is not known for half-hearted demolition}

{view of the other side, where the toilet used to be, and the tools now reside}

Mr. Mc took on the task of putting the wall back together... which was new territory for me. I’ve spackled before, but not anything this heavy duty, and in the process I discovered a really handy material! I’m talking duct tape caliber stuff here! I’m not even sure of its official name to be honest but it works like a charm and looks a lot like gauze, only its fibers are super strong and it’s sticky on one side like tape. I’m lovin this stuff!!!
