The Bathtub

A couple weeks ago I noticed a bubble on the floor of out bathtub.  Within 2 days it grew from the size of a quarter to the size of a softball.  We have an old house and it seems as though someone a while back painted our cast iron tub to freshen it up.  It appears as though it is delaminating.  I decided after a good bit of research on the web to attempt to repaint it myself.  However I started by chipping the top layer of paint off first.  This took several evenings after work to complete.


Today I took a half day to finish the chipping, cleanup and paint.  The paint takes 72 hours to dry and with the Thanksgiving holiday upon us the timing was perfect.  With spending the weekend up in Quakertown we will have the chance to let the paint dry.  Looks pretty good - keeping my fingers crossed that its durable.
