Step 1: Go pee. This was meant to be step one of bathroom cleaning, because really, you can't pee after you clean the toilet, that's just wrong. Glance over at your tub. Decide that the person who did the caulk job around the edge of your tub did a really shitty job and you could probably do a better one.
Step 2: Abandon all ideas of cleaning the bathroom. Go to Canadian Tire and buy supplies - caulk, and caulking kit. Caulk gun already at home.
Step 3: Scrap the crap out of the old ugly caulk. If you're lucky enough for it to be about 1 inch up your wall in some places this will take several passes with the scraper.
Step 4: (Approx. 1 hour and 20 mins later) Realize that the person who did the original job most likely tiled your bathtub as well. Go back to Canadian Tire and return clear caulk for white because there is a 1/4" gap in some spots between the bathtub and wall tile.
Step 5: Figure out how to load caulk gun. Then realize once you've got it loaded that you were supposed to pierce some sort of seal. Figure out how to get caulk out of gun.
Step 6: Wipe up explosion of goo. Apparently it takes a second for the pressure you apply to result in caulk coming out. Don't over do it.
Step 7: Seal tub. Definitely invest in the 5 dollar smoothing tool. The first person definitely hadn't.
Step 8: Stand back and enjoy your job well done and wasted afternoon.
Step 9: Go clean your house.
