' 4 Goderich Ontario Then there was the sink. It leaned away from the wall at a jaunty angle, hanging onto ' the laths by sheer will power. The plaster ,behind it had all fallen off. Abid the floor was rather a pro- blem. Some .pltunber of former days .had cut away • joists with a fine disregard .for the law of grav- ity, and in some spots the only thing that kept you from falling through into the room below, was the linoleum. 4 4' There was also a stovepipe hole in. the ,floor that presented some- thing of a hazard. I kept intend- ing to cover it with something but didn't get around to it. Not until the night one .of the kids went into the bathroom in the dark, stepped into the hole and dropped right into the living -room, fortun- ately landing on top of the china cabinet, whielt broke his fall, did I ifinally, agreethat • something should 15b done about the bath- _roam- * 4' 4 4 I agreed to a new toilet, new sink, and some work on the floor, with maybe a bit of cheap lino- leum. The old bath -tub was good enough for somebody's great- grandfather, so t was good enough for me. The whole business was going to egst around $200. It hurt, but there' -, wasn't much more I could nay. I'd exhausted my sup- ply of brief lectures on enonemy, the hardships of our pioneer grandparents, who didn't even have a bathtoom, ,,and ,the foolish idea of women .that just because a thing looks as bhoughe it had Dome out sof the ark is no reason to replace it, as long as it works. * 4 T 4 Well, the !construction foreman at our place, who doubles as Wife, got talking it over with various - Every one .of them had a different Idea on, the color scheme to be used. But they all agreed on a -few simple, basic points. Namely, that the old bath -tub should go because its Victorian style would not "go with" the new sink and toilet; that you should do the job properly, because you spend so much time in the bathroom, and it will "last you the rest of your life." 4: 4' 4: s: Translated into English, this last remark, means you spare no ex- pense. It means that instead of some good, ordinary linoleum, you get inlaid tile, yet, on the floor, with plywood under that, to make it lie flat. It means that instead of an honest white sink and toilet,, you wind up with a deep pink three-piece outfit. And that looks so good you have to have some- thing to really set it off, so in- stead of a gallon of paint, its ex- pensive wall tile all around the joint, _4 ,: And of course, none of the new pieces fit in where thr old ones were, so you get hooked for a whole mess of new pipes and stuff. Then, everything looks so nice that that old cupboard sticks out like a sore thumb, so you rip it out and build a new one. • 4, A' 4• 4, It's painful to dwell upon, even after several weeks, but I went through sheer hell. Even the old. light fixtures and towel racks were ripped out. I fought every inch of the way but was pushed slowly I toward bankruptcy by that inevit- ableI feminine logic that goes: "Well, you certainly wouldn't want that cheap -looking old towel rack or that crumby light fixture to spoil the whole effect, would you?" I never got past the "No, but . stage before she'd switch the at- tack to "what's the use of me .working so hard to make a nice home for you, if you're going to find . fault with every little change?" ;, Little change! By the time the whole deal was completed, I didn't even have a little change, let alone a dollar bill. `L'ithiax carne when I learned, ttrtlt' ?1lr' tiTet seat was to be pink mother-of-pearl. That really tore it. A e 4' A .But man is quite an adaptable creature. Now that I've managed to arrange a second mortgage on "tile house, in order to pay for that pink nightmare, I've been able to regain some of my customary wary equanimity. * 0 4, o Ito oast, doers are times, as I sit in contemplative mood on that pink mether'ofipearl seat, gazing about at the, pink walls, pink cur- tains and pink fixtures when I can even stop doing mental arithmetic concerning the number of years It will take to pay for It all.
