Making Progress

The remodel is progressing nicely despite the electrician being late for work.  And, I don't think it's because he overslept or got a flat tire.  He's over a WEEK late to work.  (He was replaced today by Marty the Plumber's brother.)

The demo is complete.  The plumbing has all been moved.  The water closet (yes, I'm still calling it that!) is framed and drywalled.  The pocket door system has been installed.  The shower is framed and the bench is built.  The cabinetry is built and being painted.  And now that we have an electrician, things should start rolling along pretty quickly.  

Thought you might be interested in how things are looking today...   




The shower is framed and plumbed...


The soffit has been removed, which really makes the room seem bigger and brighter...



Between the windows, the tub filler pipes are installed...



New drywall was installed on the upper portion of the walls.  Board and batten wainscoting will be installed over the still-wallpapered part of the walls...


That's the latest from the construction zone.  I have to stop typing so I can cross my fingers that the electrician is on time tomorrow...

  1. I just discovered your blog and I'm excited to see how it all turns out. Wow, that old tub was a doosie! We've got a big corner tub that I'm dying to ditch but after just completing a kitchen overhaul, it will have to wait. sigh. love your flooring and tile choices! :)

  2. Found you Carolyn!!! Love it. When you're done with your bathroom, I'll help feed your addiction and let you do mine . . . just guessing that my budget will be a tad smaller than yours . . . and throw in a reluctant "there's absolutely nothing wrong with our bathroom" husband.
