Been a long time, but finally back working on my house. Been an extremely busy spring and summer.

What the bathroom looked like this morning when I started. Just quoting some of my pics from before as its been so long.

Cleaned up.




What looks to be the old siding or such when the put an addition on at some point.


And what I found when I took the ceiling down, don't think your supposed to see light, lol. Time to get a new seal.


Probably will just take the ceiling 2x4's down as they are just sitting on top of the walls so I can just put in new ones.

And what it looks like now. I really wanted a one piece tub/shower just for the fact that there is no caulk joints or anything to worry about. And I didn't want to tile as if I ever rent the house its just one more thing to worry about. I just had to make sure all the door ways were 36" to get in in. Luckily the door to the outside off the living room was 36". But the opening to the bathroom wasn't so I just tore the casing out and will replace it with all new stuff which I really wanted to do anyways.

This is what it use to look like.


To the right of the new tub/shower where it is open now is where the toilet use to be. I put the tub on that wall to really open the bathroom up.


Where the small piece of board is on the ground is where the vanity is going to go to. It will be a 42" one as I figure I would rather have more counter space in case there's ever a girl living with me or here, lol.


Also to the right of the tub/shower I am going to box the bottom in as you won't be able to get to it because the toilets in the way. About 1/4-1/2 way up I am going to put shelves to the ceiling.

I rebuilt the vent pipe as it was outside the wall before so now I won't have to worry about it. Also tore down the old ceiling or lack there off and rebuilt it.



I also rebuilt some of the copper pipe in the basement.



My mess from today.


Hopefully I will have updates most everyday this week.

You have 5 years to wait until I will allow my daughter to marry you . She will be out of college by then and I will feel old enough to be a mother-in-law .
