Bathroom Remodel has Started

I've been trying to get a contractor in here for 6 months.  Because of COVID all of them are so booked up.  When I finally made the decision that there was no rush and I was going to just wait until next year I got a call from my contractor.   He's waiting on a bigger job and can do my bathroom remodel.   Whoo hooo. 

I decided since they were ready to go that I would let them just do the demo.   They had it all demoed in less than half a day and started putting it back together.   This is going to look so good.   Right now we are at a temporary stand still waiting on the shower base to come in.   It was ordered last week and takes 2 weeks.   Hopefully this will be completely done by the end of August.   Won't that be awesome.  Then my remodel will be done!

Here's the way things started with the bathroom.


First thing was to rip out all the carpet.   Who puts carpet in a bathroom?   

Second thing was to rip out that wall between the toilet and the vanity.  It was a sheet of drywall and all it did was make the room look smaller.  

Some people may like it but there were mirror tiles on the wall that I also ripped off, so 1970.



This is the first day after the contractor got to work.   
Everything demoed and starting to put things back together. 


Couple of things we found during the demo.  First there was a heat/air vent that will be in the shower.  I opted to keep it.   Might be nice to have heat blowing on you during the winter.   I can just close it off in the summer if it's too much.  


Second thing, you will see in the picture above is an outlet was behind the old shower.   I opted not to keep the outlet in the shower.....good idea?   Instead, they just turned it around and now I have 2 outlets in my sewing room.   Because you can never have too many outlets in a sewing room.


They are putting everything back together and right now 
we are just waiting on the shower base to come in.  



I'm super excited to get this last stage of my remodel done.   Now hurry up shower base and get here.
