New bathroom....in the works!

Started by ripping out the floors. From top to bottom...Vinyl, a sheet of Luan, a layer of peel and stick tiles then a layer of vinyl tiles, then a layer of plywood (rotten on half the floor) and then finally subfloor (which was missing around the toilet cause it had already rotted to dust). Man, that was a not so fun day.

Then we took down the wall tile. I now know that plaster is the heaviest building material on earth. These houses are built to withstand any natural disaster. Wow, another day of very physically demanding work. But still going.

Ok, so this picture below has a little story. It was the soffit above the tub's day to come down. We tried to remove as much insulation in the attic as possible, but seems we didn't get all of it. See the floor.

And Nick! Now he is starting to look tired. But still going.

Next we got to start putting it back together. Tile work. I actually like doing it. It is very rewarding to see what you can accomplish in a short time.

Grouting time.

I had to go back to work, so now it is up to Nick to bring us to the finish line. He is starting to drywall and it is starting to look like a bathroom again.

That closet was a ton of fun to lay the tile in. Lots of cut tiles.

More pics to come, just thought I would post what I had to this point. I just can't wait to have a toilet in my house again.
