The ongoing saga of the house renovation is now near completion stage.
Two weeks from tear out to 95% complete - only waiting on the four
foot heater which, for some odd reason, neither Home Depot or Lowe's
had in stock.

Tear out:

Whoof - that was a job and a half. I decided to do this bathroom
myself just for the experience - it's half the size of the master bath
which was redone as a "spa" with cedar walls, jacuzzi, etc. This one
was drywall, but the same tile on the floor (heated), same style
tub/shower and the raised panel vanity/medicine cabinet and vanity
light fixture I built myself using white oak stained golden.

Only thing left to do is install the heater and base board trim which
shoudln't take long at all.

It's not bad if you have the time - five hours a day for two weeks.

I built the kitchen cabinets too - same material. They came out great
too.

The contractor did the cabinet indtallation, granite countertop, waist
panels out of shiplap pine, floor and dishwasher installation.

So, starting in March, the only thing left is the rest of the floors,
resurface the living room walls, paint and

WE'RE DONE!!!

WHOO HOO!!!

Sorry for the lousy pics - I took them with my cell phone.
