This Old House


This is what's coming up for the lower bathroom. It'll be a semi-complete gut job. Removing old tiled shower from 1964 down to studs, removing/replacing vanity and toliey. Tiled floor will be removed and looking into heated tiles since it's cold concrete below. Professionals were over last night eyein up the shower since the floor pan will have to be redone to today's standards along w/ some plumbing. I'll demo the shower but they'll do the new pan, make it waterproof, and tile'r up. I'll need to rip out the ceiling to install an exhaust fan and new light, maybe w/ some heat. This will be bathroom remodel number two for this house...the first took place in between last Turkey day and Jesus' Birthday and turned out ok...the only bitch part was tight area and trying not to screw up the carpet and luggin shit from out in the cold to inside. taking measurements from inside, running out to the garage and cutting drywall or tile and then coming back inside. That's when an attached garage would come in super handy. Maybe someday....(Ahhhh gaze upwards and insert dreamy harp music) and to have a nice size basement w/ a workout room, bar, darts, ping pong table, plasma tv and poker table. A guy can dream can't he. Anyways I'll post some pics if we ever get the broken camera back from Nikon. Tor took it back to Sears the day after xmas and they in turn sent it to Nikon and Nikon said it was out of warranty by one day and they will not cover the cost to repair. Gotta love it.
