Half Bath Update

While the contractor has been fooling around in the master bath, I've been working on the half bath.

Monday I finished sanding the door trim and primed the trim, walls and ceiling.










I had a check up scheduled in Patchogue on Monday too, so stopped by the cabinet maker to take a look at the vanity he's making for me. The pictures didn't come out very well, because the dust reflected the flash.

Here's the vanity. I couldn't find a small black vanity, so I had to have a cabinet maker build one for me.










Here's the molding and the vanity door.











Here's the trim for around the window.











The vanity top hasn't been made yet. The cabinet maker is getting me a sample, so I can see if I like what he found. I also have to buy the sink, so it can be installed before he installs the vanity top.

New Master Bath Rebuild - Day 3

The contractor installed the cement board and sheet rock today. He also made the cement base for the shower floor tile. Monday he'll come back and start the tile work. Speaking of tile, here's a peek at what he's going to be installing.

The larger tile (17"x17") goes on the floor outside the shower. The rest is for the walls and the ceiling in the shower. The bottom half of the walls will have the 8"x17" tile and then a row of the boarder tile you see on the right. Next will be a few rows of 8"x8" tile and then another row of boarder tile. At the top of the walls will be another row of the 8"x8" tile.





This tile (1"x1" squares) is for the floor of the shower. I needed to use this type, because it forms better to the curves of the cement base to assure proper drainage.









So without further ado, here's a video tour of day three's work.



I hope you've been paying attention, so you can remodel your bathrooms too.
