Work was minimal on the bathroom this weekend, although we're getting closer to actually putting down new materials. Katie Craft was in town visiting, and after dropping her off at the airport and taking a power nap, it was time to put on the dust mask and goggles, and head upstairs. Armed with a new 9 gallon shop-vac (old one was 2.5 gal and not as powerful), I was able to pick up 95% of the remaining mortar and remove a majority of the tar paper...finally exposing the subfloor! As the trash can neared its capacity, I had to stop, and will finish up Tuesday (trash day). Hopefully this upcoming weekend I'll be able to start laying the additional subfloor and screwing in the cement board to the floor and shower walls.
Yes, that is actually the plywood subfloor finally showing through! Luckily, its in great condition and will easily support the additional wood and cement board needed to build up the floor to the correct height. Check out the new shop-vac too! I love fun tools :).
The bathtub which was previously filled with mortar is now nice and clean, thanks to the fast work of the new shop-vac.

Shop Vac doesn't classify as a fun tool!
It does when it makes your work faster and easier :). I agree though that there are tools that are more fun!
