We are in the process of re-doing the upstairs bathroom.  I'm going to try to take pictures when we do some major changes and post them for perusal for interested parties.


This is the destruction phase.  This is the doorway looking into the bathroom and we tore down the wall separating the toilet from the rest of the room.
This is a bit dark, but the lights are disabled. You can see the studs that held the wall and door to the toilet area.
This is to show you what this wall looks like right now. This will change to a single vanity with a nice jacuzzi style tub in the left hand corner.
This is the old shower area.  This will be ripped out completely and made into just a shower.
Toilet area with the studs.
And a slightly better shot with relation to the door.
As of today, March 3, we have installed a homemade shelving unit in the wall above where the new jacuzzi tub will go.
This is where the shower was.
The shelving unit and you can see that the entire vanity and sink is gone. That was fun.
All that is left of where the wall and door frame once stood. That is the sink, prior to being chopped into manageable pieces and brought downstairs.
A better shot showing where the sink and vanity was and the mirrors.
The next few shots are as of April 10th.
Brian is trying out the new jacuzzi tub after it got delivered.
Ahhhh, the jacuzzi tub is set in place on the platform that Brian built.
A better shot of the jacuzzi tub on its platform. There will be tile around the tub and wrapping around to the shower.
New sheetrock has been installed in the toilet area.  All of the new lights are in the ceiling.
The large shower area.  You can't see it at the moment, but the plumbing has been run and the new drain is in with a layer of moisture barrier on the floor.
From inside the shower area, the seat that we built in.  And to the left of the seat (behind the large black pipe thing) is two built in shelving spots.  Everything will be tiled.
4-24-07: The tub is now enclosed with a framework that will be tiled with one panel opening to have access to the motor, etc.
4-24-07: We’ve started tiling the floor!  Most importantly, the area where the toilet goes.  There’s hope for a working toilet soon!
4-30-07: There is tile on the back wall! This will be the same tile used on the walls in the shower itself.   The tile will also wrap around the front of the tub.
4-30-07: Our new sink and faucet. Not to worry, we will do something snazzy here too. ;)
4-30-07: A closer shot of the sink, faucet and beautiful blue tile.
4-30-07: The shower area which is partially covered in cement board.  I believe we are now up to laying the shower ‘pan’ material on the floor (like the gray stuff hanging down the wall) and then another layer of mortar. Then it is happy tiling and fixtures!
7-8-07: Took some pictures prior to doing any more work (we were on a bit of a hiatus, other things took priority). This shot if from the door, showing the half wall that we are putting in that is pretty much all shelving. There will be sliding doors on all three levels.
7-8-07: This is a close-up of our home-made sliding doors. Some plexi, some friskit (masking material primarily for airbrushing), some frosting spray and a bit of patience and Voila!
7-8-07: A picture of our jacuzzi bathtub: tiled along the front and missing just a bit of tile around it.
7-8-07: Ah, shower area! Almost completely tiled. Isn't that blue tile beautiful! It will be like showering underwater. ;)
7-8-07: A shot of the floor in the shower area. There will be tile along the gray part that divides the shower floor from the main floor. Not to mention that there will also be doors.
7-8-07: This is the seat area in the shower. It's hard to see, but there are two shelves inside and to the left.
7-8-07: The tub and sink from the ladder in the shower area.
7-8-07: And a shot to show how the shelving unit will hide the toilet from casual view of the bedroom door.
