Last major renovation complete...
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: http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/1011091838.jpg http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/1011091839a.jpg 95% complete: http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/1126092102.jpg 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. http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/1126092330.jpg http://www.swsports.org/images/Pictures/1126092330a.jpg 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. |

Tear out: snip: Congratulations on a job well done. We did both our 2nd bathroom and then the kitchen within the last 5 years. A lot of work and darn messy when you're living in the house while work is underway. |

Very nice job. Only recommendation is where the towel rod is, put a 2x6 across the towel bar area. Makes it much easier / nicer to install towel bars. Learned that trick working on a Habitat for Humanity project. |

It's fun, but I'll tell you what- I ain't gonna do it again. :) It was nice to dust off the old wood shop and use the tools again though. |

I thought SWMBO had banned you from power tools in the wood shop. She did. Then she saw what it was going to cost to have Herb Garnett custom build the cabinets and remembered what it cost to do these same cabinets up at the big house - she relented. She figured it was worth losing a finger or two in the process. :) |
