Better? Well maybe not better...in this case it's more like not even close...
It seems that down here in our area of the country, mold likes to grow. A lot of mold likes to grow here. I was sick of looking at the mold in the shower (the bleach turned it white and the vinegar killed it for a while, but it just keeps coming back.)
I have been meaning to re-caulk the shower for weeks now. I mean how hard can it be, right?
It took a lot longer to remove the old caulk than I thought it would. Thanks for making it look easy, Brian!
Katie was in there trying to "help". By that I mean, telling me how I should go about removing the caulk. That was entertaining.
I finally got it removed, cleaned up my mess and loaded up the gun to start caulking.
Uh...that does NOT look right. Let's see..."easy water cleanup" it says on the tube. Yeah, that just removed it again and in some parts actually made it look worse. Ugh! Good thing I bought 2 tubes!
I am so glad I can laugh at myself. I did NOT do a great job, but I did the best I could. I think that deserves a pat on the back! I mean, I did what I planned on doing, right? Could I have done it better? Uh...probably, but I think I'll just learn from my mistakes this time around. Maybe next time it will look great.
Next time??
Yeah...mmm....well...I think we'll just let Brian take care of that.
I am happy that I was able to get rid of the moldy caulk, clean the mold out of those nasty little spaces and at least make it white again. I hope to stay mold free until at least the end of January when Brian gets back.
