This Damn House

This is the most depressing Before & After post I've ever done.

To wit, my Caulking Project:

Looks great, doesn't it? Yeah. But while I was down on my knees in my tub, I noticed this:

It's bad. You can tell because it says so, see? Also because what I thought was some adhesive gunk left from one of those non-slip tub stick-ons, which I was planning on removing with some sort of toxic chemical later, turned out, upon close examination, to be the bare ceramic of the tub underlying the tub glaze.

BAD! Bad tub, no tub biscuit! (And bad Mrs. TDH for putting those tub stickies on in the first place, lo these many years ago. My only defense is that re-glazing the tub is probably preferably to taking one of my kids to the emergency room for a cracked skull. But only just barely.)

So all my work is for naught; when I get the tub re-glazed they'll have to re-grout and re-caulk and so forth anyway. *sigh*
