Looking Back - Part IV

Once the main house demo was done and cleaned up we decide to redo the main bath. It took a while as this was my first remodel and I wanteed to take my time, trying to make it right, and not over think it, that part didn't work so well. For a small room there was a lot of work involved, but worth it. We ran water and drain lines up the wall to a future upstairs bathroom and put in Roxal 'Safe and Sound' insulation in the ceiling, to help with noise dampening, our bedroom is above it. In the end it worked out very well. Here is it and remember it's bright.



This is how it was, tub at the end,
washer and dryer in the room.



With everything I needed removed I could see the
wiring and plumbing and get started.



A lot of ceiling came down, many layers.



With a new and some what level floor, new window,
 and exhaust vent hole cut, the tub is framed out.



With the help of a friend, Mike Tokach, I got the drywall up,
this type is for bathrooms and is heavy.



Plumbing and wiring done, tub is in place.

Once all the dry wall was done, mud was put
on, sanding and priming was done.

We added a little colour, and started the
in- floor heating.

A layer between the floor and tile to help
with any movement.

Tiles laid and vent positioned.



Trim and baseboards put on.


 

Toilet installed.



New sink and lights, nice an bright.
