With the frame for the tub in place, the next step was to get the plumbing and electrical done so that we could put up drywall and cement board...
B was working hard in the evenings after coming home from work, and he really accomplished a lot. When we got back from Ottawa on Saturday morning, the bathroom looked like this...
It's definitely coming along! You'll notice over the tub that we have put in a recessed area for keeping bathing necessities. B has also demonstrated to me that it will be the perfect spot for me to rest my head when taking a nice hot relaxing bath with a glass of wine. I-CAN'T-WAIT!!
Saturday afternoon my father stopped by, and the boys got back to work. First on the list, they finished the drain pipe for the toilet. They planned on installing our new vent fan as well, but the original one we purchased wouldn't fit as the rafters in the ceiling were smaller than we had anticipated. So, in order to keep things moving, B connected the shower valve and they continued putting up drywall and cement board.
We're getting closer and closer to be ready for paint and tile, and anyone who has ever done a bathroom renovation knows what a big deal that is!
Are there any projects you are working on that are so closed to finished, you can taste it? Or what reno have you worked on in the past that you were so happy to close the book on?
It's really coming together- looking great so far!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! Hope it all continues to go well!
ReplyDeleteWow, it's really coming along! We are thisclose to being ready to paint our basement, but mudding and sanding the drywall feels like it's taking for.ev.er. Sucks how those pesky full-time jobs get in the way of home renos ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking so great! Keep your eye on the prize (the hot bath with wine, of course!) :)
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited for you!! I love the nice long window in the bathroom! Can't wait to see it all come together
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! It's all starting to come together. Bathrooms seem to always take forever!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the progress! Cement board is always a pain to work with. Are you having a second shower niche or just storing your shampoo and things on the shelf near the window?
ReplyDeleteETA: For some reason my OpenID and Worpress account isn't working in your comment section on both my work and home computers for just your blog.
Great progress and amazing you are doing it all yourself. I have dreams of ripping out our bathroom one day! Very glad to have your blog :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I share your excitement as we are also in the midst of a bathroom (and walk-in closet and master bedroom) reno and are ready to tile! We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
ReplyDeleteAll the best in your reno!
