DONE! I have completed the removal and re caulk of the shower in the master bath. Actually, the removal was a joint project. My DH helped last night with getting it off. Now, my DH is 6'4" and so both of us in the shower at the same time trying to get all this off was probably good for a laugh, but we did it. I then did the cleanup, etc. needed prior to recaulking so it could dry overnight. I applied new caulk this am. Now, wait 24 hours and see what happens :). PHEW! This was one of those projects that has needed done for some time and I realized that there was absolutely no reason why I couldn't do this one myself. There are some projects that really are easier done with assistance or that my DH is better at, but this one I knew I could handle. After all, I can outline letters on a scrapbook page with sparkly glue, how hard could it be to run a bead of caulk?
Speaking of scrapbooking, this came through a list I am on and I have to share.

Congrats Alex! I knew you could do it! Incidentally I too need to recaulk the tub in the guest bathroom. Here in Houston we have to be super careful that we don't let any moisture get into the walls because of the deadly mold we have down here.
Anywho...
