My Bathtub Tile Reno Day 1

I am taking the Memorial Day Weekend off - which means I am doing projects for myself (several actually). As a tile snob, I've wanted to get rid of these tiles in my bathroom for over 10 years.

I finally got the go-ahead from my mom, Dot, who owns this house (there's a whole other post behind the negotiation to make this happen).

This tile was a bitch to get off. I ended up using an axe to break it off and it's still slow and tedious because the mortar is very stuck to the blue board behind. The tile is telling me it was installed very well, which means it's a mothertrucker to remove. But I have some frustrations that need to get out. Demolishing is great therapy.
