Jen and I have been working on a bathroom remodel for most of the year. We decided to completely gut the downstairs bathroom and start from scratch. To call the existing bathroom 'nasty' is an affront to all truly nasty things.
We didn't change the layout of the room. We merly replaced everything and added a few touches.
A couple of the big changes included a new glass block window (I did that!) to replace the crappy casement window, the additional of an exhaust fan (there wasn't one before!) and an in-floor heating system. We also tiled the floor and shower walls.
The picture above is the current state of things. The bug bundle of wires is the floor warming system.
We did MAJORLY screw up one thing. We waited way to long to clean the xcess grout of the wall tile and now we are having to carefully scrub it off with vinegar and water and try not to destroy 1,500 bucks worth of imported italian clay tiles. :(
Jen is working on the tile cleanup and I'm putting the finishing joint compound on the regular wall seams, screw holes, etc. Once we get these thigns done we can paint, seal the good grout and then we can isntall the new toilet and vanity!
We replaced the regular door with a pocket door and have't decided on what kind of door slab we want to use. It's a tought choice because we want to replace all 14 of the crappy luan doors throughout the house with the same thing. We'll use the old door temorarily. Anyway, after the bathroom is painted I can isntall the trim and jambs for the door.
Thats about it...new bathroom soon! YAY!
