Bad News. We were hoping it wouldn't come to this, but the hot water faucet went out less than six months after the cold. So it all had to be ripped out. Complicating matters, whoever constructed this originally, used way too much concrete, which oozed through the mesh and fell downward completely encasing all the copper tubing, you see in the photo above. It was was completely inaccessible--buried in concrete. You should have seen the drill they had to use to get to this. But they were able to repair it. So now it works, but we haven't re-tiled yet, so we haven't really used it. The handle is the cheap set the plumber installed. I'm still shopping for a replacement.
Good News. I got 30 100% matching vintage pink tile at our local Re-Store for only $3. Yes, 30 tile for $3. To say I'm elated is an understatement. The hole gets repaired and re-tiled later this week. I can't wait. This bathroom is going to be my summer project. New vanity, lights, etc. Slowly, but surely, I'm going to come to terms with this bathroom.
