Bathroom Project

OK, we've talked about how we've needed to work on the bathroom, and how we are going to work on the bathroom, and how we have worked on the bathroom a little bit already. Here are the first set of pictures. I can't seem to find any "before" pictures for some reason (honestly I'm not sure we took any, I'm don't know why we didn't think of that.) So this series is after the destruction and "before" we really started fixing anything (except the electrical - which we did most of before these shots and after Neil learned what 120 volts feels like). These are taken from the center of the room, circling around to show the whole room.

Along that wall was where the old outdoor jacuzzi bathtub was (the one that started this mess by leaking into the floor and down to the dining room below). You can see the drain line from it coming out of the floor on the right. On the left would have been Neil's sink, and on the right would have been Raquel's sink which was in a long cabinet. The lumber leaning along the wall is from our beginning to disassemble the shower enclosure.
This is turning to the left. Neil is in the doorway to the master bedroom and the other studs (to the left of him) used to be part of the shower enclosure (you can see the pipes for the shower head). The door to the left of that is the master closet.
Circling more to the left, you can see the master closet door again, the little toilet room, and then to the left would have been Raquel's sink and the beginning of the cabinets.
We'll try to keep the blog posted with periodic updates on our progress. It might be a couple of weeks though. Raquel just left for just over a week in South Africa. I am at home today while the plumbers are doing the rough in work. The next steps will be to get the rough in plumbing inspection and rebuild the subfloor (they are busy cutting it up right now).
