Xyster101 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Finally finished the master suite. Started it June 2011 and then things came up. Someone tried to "flip" the bathroom and did a horrid job on the plumbing/tile. Ripped it all out down to the studs. Re-used tub, toilet, vanity. The shower stall is big enough for 2 people with lots of room. Jetted tub holds 1 and you can watch the fish. Still have to hang the curtains. Before: http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/DSC_6008.jpg I did all the plumbing, electric, drywall, tile, and custom stuff. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0164.jpg Made the mirror and counter top. Sink from Amazon. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0183.jpg Build a mold and poured this custom concrete counter top. Grinded and polished it myself and sealed it to a “Wet” finish. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0182.jpg Custom mirror frame from poplar and aluminum flashing. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0200.jpg Here is my custom fishtank. I made the background from foam insulation and covered it with cement. Access is from the laundry room on the other side. A switch/timer on the bathroom wall controls the light. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0172.jpg Awesome faucet for the tub from Overstock. They have great prices on fixtures. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0184.jpg Custom shower. Had to pour a custom pan with a rubber liner. Re did all the insulation behind the wall and moved the vent fan into this space. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0166.jpg Duel shower heads and controls. Tile angles were very time consuming and the shower stall took 10 hours of planning and cutting. Then another 10 to lay it all. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0192.jpg http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0190.jpg I made the trim around the front of the tub. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0165.jpg Vintage light from an antique store. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/Bathroom%20Done/DSC_0197.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Love everything but the light blue paint, but amazing plumbing work none the less. The shower is sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Everything looks great. I may have painted the poplar black so it wouldn't contrast against the aluminum as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 like everything except the mirror frame. looks good. and if possible, i would've moved the vent in front of the tub, but i would probably turn the heat on and get out of the tub and stand over it. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidBaustert Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Is that a smashed glass counter top? What did you use to grind it? I've been saving up bud light platinum bottles to do this. Did you have to use the special concrete? Looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Man I wasn't wild about the concrete counter but sealed and polished it looks good! Dual shower heads is full of win. Again I'm sure when you were doing this you realized that there were going to be some things folks didn't like, but as long as you do thats what matters. Good job, alot of work there!

Not Brian Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Or shit in it and stomp it down the drain??? Imagine having a toilet inside the shower. That would be the most heavenly dump, and my morning get-ready time would be cut in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Serious post this time; It looks amazing besides that mirror frame as others pointed out. The dents and waviness, apparent uneven trim lines and the wood frame visible makes it looks really shoddy, like it was $5 at Big Lots.

Mensan Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I love the countertop. I love the antique light. I love the idea for the frame for the mirror. I think the final result, compared to the rest of the bathroom, creates a contrast (not a positive contrast) which could be lessened by using a different frame for your mirror. Great job overall. A lot of creativity. Looks way better than my bathroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinwebb Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Great job on all of it, I envy your home. I would be self conscious about being naked in front of the fish though, always judging me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 like everything except the mirror frame. looks good. and if possible, i would've moved the vent in front of the tub, but i would probably turn the heat on and get out of the tub and stand over it. lol Couldn't move it as it was between joists. I could have made it come out of the wall in front of the tub, but it has weak air flow as it is without adding 2 -90 bends to it. Mirror Wife and I saw that mirror at a "chic" shop somewhere for $240 and she liked it. I spent $30 on hardware and had the mirror. I should have wrapped the aluminum around the frame between the mirror and the frame. You can't tell unless you look close which the picture shows. We are actually selling the house this spring, if negative comments persist like they do here from lookers, I will take it down and put something else up.

Xyster101 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Is that a smashed glass counter top? What did you use to grind it? I've been saving up bud light platinum bottles to do this. Did you have to use the special concrete? Looks awesome. Made a form from melamine, glued glass down,sifted concrete to remove the larger aggregate and poured. I used 4 bags quickcrete 5,000psi concrete from Home Depot. I then grinded it with wet grinding pads Amazon $50 from 50 grit to 1500. I then applied Enviro Lite 64oz Amazon $50 to seal it. The counter top was a lot of work and I will not do it again. The cost was around $150, but the time was probably 20 hours between making the form, pouring, grinding, sealing. Form:http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/IMAG0565.jpg You actually pour it upside down so the bottom is facing the smooth melamine. You can also pour them in place right side up but then you have to float them carefully. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/House%20Remodeling/IMAG0004.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01sentrase2.0 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 When you started the project did you plan on moving? The fish tank may hurt you for potential buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbracing81 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think it looks really great. I know how much hard work it is to convert something likethat. I have been working on my bathroom for about as long. It will look nothing like yours, but still nice and a huge amount of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinHawk1647545499 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 dual heads on the shower is nice, but it needs to be bigger and have more ledge-seats so its easier to have sex in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 When you started the project did you plan on moving? The fish tank may hurt you for potential buyers. No, I was not planning on moving until Dec 14, 2012 when my principle told me they were eliminating the Industrial Technology (shop) program at Marysville and I would be let go at the end of the school year. Jan. 21 wife got a job in Albany and we are out of here in June! Ohio sucks. No mountains, state parks, woods, or twistie roads. As for the tank, it might hurt sales, but in ~5 hours (over 3 days) I can close the hole up with some drywall, mud and paint. dual heads on the shower is nice, but it needs to be bigger and have more ledge-seats so its easier to have sex in. I was going to build a bench and tile it. Glad I didn't, too much work and too much room gone. The seat is great for wife shaving legs. I don't like sex in the shower, too much friction, but great for getting warmed up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
