Guest Bathroom Overhaul

As promised I will try and get through at least one room a day.  Here is a small room that was a large challenge.  The guest Bathroom.  The only words to describe seeing it for the first time in years , was Gross!!!!

The day we arrived back in town after our home had been rented for many years.

I flushed this toilet before taking a pic...


Look at the Dirt on the tub and this was the cleanest tub in the house..mmm



The only thing to do with this room was Gut it..

So here is the Recap and again if you want to see where we started and what we have done in this last year you can go back and start at Week 1.


Tearing out the old units.



Tearing up the floor after taking out the sink, Toilet and Tub..



That hole just got bigger as the days went on..



New floor Joists and plumbing.



Sub floor installed



New insulation and window



Shower Floor pan

Final layer of shower pan



New sub floor, walls and electrical...check


Tile board on floor installed


Barrier and Tile board in shower getting installed


George setting up his new Tile Cutter..let the games begin. 
We have never tiled before !!!


George laid the floor tiles






Don't know how it happened but I was left to tile the rest of the bathroom..yikes



At this point I was asking myself why did I pic this pattern and not go with a simple design..




Grouting was harder than you think..not for the weak at heart...




As you know this shower floor was a challenge because mister George had screwed up the first attempt at laying these tiles.  I had to lay them in one by one..



Shower walls



Shower ceiling


George wanted a Sauna look..


Painting..The color is orange looking in the pics but it is a terracotta color




Staining the ceiling was hard work..





But in the end we did manage to finish after installing new toilet, sink, fixtures, moulding and door.  Hope you like it..


End Result




 

 







Thanks for stopping by and hopefully you get some inspiration..if not..oh well



What I have Learned


You have to redo your bathroom when your not too sure who's bum has been using it for years...


Tiling is not an easy task

You make mistakes but everything can't be perfect...


Until next time

That is why it's really important to have a prenup agreement. This is what Conroe home builders told me before they build our house.

I am glad you take pride in what you write. This makes you stand way out from many other writers that push poorly written content.
