And So Its Has Begun......
The big "Bathroom Renovation" at my house! Started some light demo this morning.....gotta work this afternoon so did not want to get too deep into it but the next 2 days will be spent gutting it to the studs and prepping for the plumbing, electrical, plaster and tile guys! Took out a small closet and the ugly sink today and it already looks better!  Stay tuned if you want a good laugh through this project!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Good luck with it, Larry. I finished up completely renovating one of my bathrooms a couple of months ago. It took way too long and was way more difficult than it should have been. From now on, I'm paying professionals to do the big jobs. My roof is being done as I type.

Well good luck with your project Larry, I'm sure you'll do a fine job.
I haven't had time to gut my bathroom yet but it is on the short list, I already have the plumbing fixtures and I made the vanity and solid surface top, the tile is paid for, now I just need some time to breathe and get it done in between estimates and cabinet jobs, I'm glad I'm working though with this economy. I think if I don't get it finished by Sept. I will be in trouble.
Fishbones, I wish more people realized just how much work it is to remodel bathrooms, maybe most wouldn't be shocked when they get the price.

Did my bathroom over last year. Hated every minute of it! glad it's over. The kitchen was much more satisfying. Good luck and have fun.

In case you missed it I had to build an outdoor shower as this is our only bathroom! It came out great and I took it for a test drive today! You can't beat an outdoor shower!!! I will post pics tomorrow!  Not of me, just of the shower and the bathroom before I really tear it out! |

Very few things rival an outdoor shower on a cool summer night.
