Remodeling the bathroom

This topic will take a few posts to cover - but a bathroom remodel is an obvious choice for something to blog!

A while back we decided that the master bath needed a little freshening up - so it started out with a simple removal of the wall-length mirror being replaced by two smaller mirrors. Of course nothing around here ends with a simple mirror change - with or without smoke, so we took the next step last weekend and started tearing out the old sinks and the flooring - note exhibit A.

(Exhibit A)


Exhibit B proves that i can't claim all the work. Susie is all about demolition - the rubber mallet is never far from her reach.



We didn't get any pictures, but Josh Smith is my tiling expert, so he was brought in to help get things kicked off. We added a wrinkle of adding under-floor heating. It was about this point in the process that i noticed a warning label on the heating strip that said to test the resistance of the strip BEFORE, during and after installation. Let's hope that AFTER will suffice ...



Susie can read Japanese words in the tape work.



I got the finishing touching in place and then grouted the tiles.



This next weekend Josh Williams is going to be here to help out with building a new sink cabinet base. I'll try to get some pictures of that ...
