TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Started my bathroom remodel this weekend and nearing the reconstruction phase on Day 2 (not too bad). But here's a few pictures of what's been done so far. The end result will be a 20" deep tub with new 13"x13" ceramic tile on the floor and shower. Also installing a new vanity along with everything else. The main reason for this remodel was that the shower was starting to mold between the surround and the tub. After re-culking the shower about 6 times, it was time to investigate why it was molding after only a few months. You'll see in the pictures why that was the case. The beginning with only the medicine cabinet removed. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5118.jpg Before http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5119.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5120.jpg Bye bye car border http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5126.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5127.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Why did you remove all the insulation was it damp? Are you putting it back? I'm getting ready to do some tile and I'll need to replace some subflooring.....fun fun owning a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Why did you remove all the insulation was it damp? Are you putting it back? Yeah, the plastic & and insulation were kinda nasty, so I figured I'd rather just buy new stuff and start all over. After Day 2, finally making some progress. We went with an extra-deep tub from Kohler that is 20" deep vs the standard 14" deep. New Insulation http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5155.jpg Tub is in!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5159.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5160.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 In case you're wondering what the white paint is on the studs and sub-floor, I rolled on some Kilz to keep the mold from returning and as a moisture barrier where the mold was the most prominent.

GRN96WS6 Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 You are tiling the walls and making your own niches? For I assume holding bottels of shampoo etc? Nice work so far I will be doing this next year or this year if I run into some money I to have the multi piece tubs and they SUCK for sealing if not kept up on. I will be doing the tile walls as well which offer better moisture resistance if done correctly. I have two bathrooms to do as well...house modding is fun but I'm always thinking of what I want to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 You are tiling the walls and making your own niches? For I assume holding bottles of shampoo etc? Yup. The pre-fab ones are too pricey as well as the configuration I'm doing, there are none available, so I am making my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TrueSS Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 So you are over lapping the paper on the sheet rock? Are you going to tile over that or just paint? I am thinking it will not be a smooth transition? I could be wrong though. Looking really good! reminds me of when I redid the first level in our condo. Tile floors in the kitchen and wood floors in the living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Is it done? Not yet. We've run into a slight issue with installing a new wider tub. There is a stud located directly in the center (width-wise), so we have to redo all the plumbing to center it to the new wider tub. But here's a few pics of a bit of the progress in the last two days. The new plumbing is going in today and hopefully we can start on the paint and tile work tomorrow. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5173.jpg Niches done and ready for tile http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5176.jpg Drywall replacement going in http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5177.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5178.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5179.jpg The niches double perfectly for beer stands http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/TimTaylor75/Bathroom%20Remodel/DSCN5180.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
