A Bathroom update




We thought we were doing very well on Sunday, when we took the bathroom down to the bare walls (or at least three out of the four walls), and removed the tub, stool, and vanity.



Then Monday, we took out the ceiling, the floor, and the back wall. Messy work, but by Tuesday we were getting the plumbing put back together. The sink needed to move, and there were some issues with the quality of the work that was done before, including joists that were cut to pieces, and poor drainage angles. Good to fix this sort of stuff since it will be over the kitchen. Hate to have stuff leaking down!



By Wednesday night, we had the new water lines up to the appropriate spots. Gotta love that Pex pipe.. red for hot, blue for cold. We also removed the outside of another wall where a door will be closed in. Now I need to get at some minor wiring changes and we need to get a tub and shower surround on the way. Before that goes in, the floor will get finished, the window comes out, and insulation goes into the outside wall.
