Demolition is nearly done except for removing the popcorn ceiling.

The area where the trash can is sitting was a closet, it is becoming a shower.

The short wall was a wall and doorway that created a water closet for the toilet. Emily wanted it opened up.

The door on the right is Emily’s closet. It will remain. In the bottom photo you can see the ladder in her closet.

A 6’ soaking tub goes where the old fiberglass tub-shower used to be (where the yellow vacuum is).

Everywhere you see insulation and studs will be tile and the floor will be tile. I might sneak in some radiant heat in the floor but that’s a surprise for Admiral Emily.

There will be new lights and a new vanity top.

To the right of the built-in cabinet is the door to our bedroom.

Major progress the last two days.

All the drywall is complete. I will paint once the the shower pan is complete and all the backer board is installed.

I only have to connect the tub drain and supply when I install the tub. All supply lines are in and tested and leak free. Shower drain is complete except for the pieces to be installed with the second layer of shower base. So plumbing is basically finished.

The wiring and thermostat for the heated floor has to be done. The lights fans switches etc all are done. Heated floor system gets installed as part of the tile install.

Hardie Board concrete backer will be done tomorrow after the first layer of the shower base has set. I’ll tape and mud the backer as I put in the first layer of thinset for the heated floor.

I hope by the end of next week to be putting finishing touches on everything. But we will see what works out. I suspect the Doctor’s closet will take some time.

I’ve not been fishing in so long I can’t remember who I am.

BUT the bathroom remodel from hades is getting done.

By the weekend, I should be nearly done.

My lines are plumb and square because the laser doesn’t lie

The boss lady worked Saturday and today. I’m thinking she’s as ready to be done as I am.

Looks Great Ted,
I really thought it was going to be pictures all finished. you were gone so long from this post!

It has been slow work on the tile.

There’s a reason there aren’t many 60 year old solo tile guys.

It’s tough getting up and down, doing the fitting, and going outside to cut the tile when a saw is required. Installing the heated floor took three extra days.

Just a couple of days of help from Emily moved things along a lot faster. Having a regular helper probably would have cut the time in half.

No lawyers have been brought in so you must be doing fairly well.

Like the look of pebble rock floor, my best customer did something like that when they finished their bathroom.

SawyerTed · « **Reply #33 on:** February 09, 2023, 06:44:49 PM »

Two young men, who looked 14 years old, installed the new granite vanity top per the boss lady’s direction.

The carpenter, sheetrock guy, tile man, and electrician installed the plumbing after the teenagers left (when did they start allowing 14 year olds to drive box trucks?).

Fortunately, the plumbing only took one trip to the orange box store for parts.

My wife hates a thick backsplash and the granite company can’t do much thinner than 3/4” so there will be a tile backsplash and the peach wall will have tile.

I sure wish that new sawmill would come…

Looks great! Are you going to float that drywall tape line out on the wall or do you plan on going that high with the backsplash ?

Walnut Beast · « **Reply #35 on:** February 09, 2023, 07:27:28 PM »

Are you happy with the young guys work they did ?

SawyerTed · « **Reply #36 on:** February 09, 2023, 08:41:35 PM »

The young guys did excellent work so yes, I’m very happy. They even repaired a chip on the kitchen counter that’s indistinguishable.

The drywall line has one coat of mud and it’s been sanded. There is some touch up to do. It is much smoother than the photo makes it appear.

There was alot going on in the area above the new vanity top. Torn sheetrock paper from the caulk on the old backsplash, three different shades of paint and the old anchor holes for the bottom of the 36x72 mirror.

The mirror goes back once the backsplash is done.

Is it the angle or is that vanity big enough that you will need your cell phone to call each other when at the sinks?

Resonator · « **Reply #38 on:** February 09, 2023, 09:52:09 PM »

Looks like the tools and tape are staking claim to the "His" corner of the countertop. Everything else is "Hers".

SawyerTed · « **Reply #39 on:** February 10, 2023, 07:18:08 AM »

The vanity top is 9’-4” long. With nothing on it it looks like you could land a F/A- 18 Hornet on it.
