Bathroom Remodeling Part 1
We decided to remodel the master bathroom, and, at long last, employed a general contractor, Building America after several quotes. They began work this past Monday, and it looks like it will take through early next week. It will include a new tile floor, a new (and more efficient) door layout, new sink and vanity, new medicine cabinets, new ceiling, etc. It will be great.
 | I disassembled my entertainment center on Sunday night. I had that thing since my grad school days. My dad and I had assembled it when I first moved in, and it was well-constructed. |
 | The old shower. Old tiles, 1975's style door, difficult to maintain. |
 | The old ceiling. The fan was loud, rusty, and didn't fit well. |
 | The old sink. Cracked. 1975's style vanity. Mirrors that were discolored. The fixtures on the sink were fairly new, as my dad had installed them about a year or so ago (due to leak problems). |
 | The old vanity. |
 | The first day of demolition. The shower is no more. |
 | The first day of demolition. The vanity is no more. |
 | The third day. They sealed the bottom of the shower with a tar-like substance. |
 | The shower valves. Unfortunately, they are buried in the wall, and it requires that the complex water be turned off for a significant amount of time, if we were to replace. |
 | The area without the vanity. They replaced the shutoff valves. |
