DIY Woodworking, Home Improvement, and Art Projects

SO the shower is in place! It wasn’t looking good there for a while. The plumber had the bathroom filled with his tools, he didn’t show up one day, and when he left the day before that we weren’t sure it was going to get done this week. Well the guy finished up on Monday night and everything works. It is so nice to see some big progress in that room. It can be pretty crazy having your main bathroom be a construction zone, totally unusable, and not very kid-friendly. It’s been almost a month now since we started the demo and we are ready to finish off the drywall around the shower, tile the floor, move in the new vanity, install the new light fixture, install the new baseboard molding, install the new door, finish the decorative treatment on the walls, and re-install the toilet.

Hah! Small list right…well, when you tear things down to the frame you will find yourself with a huge list like that. It’s going to be great when it is complete though. What’s nice is knowing that we did most of it ourselves. If you’re a do it yourselfer you know that satisfaction and it definitely drives you and motivates you.

So you want to learn how to remove a toilet? Replace a shower? Demo an old vanity? Put slate tile on a bathroom floor? Stick around, because I plan to create individual sections with pictures, instructions, and my notes on all of these projects. Until then, take care!
