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:

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.

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.

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.

Way ahead if you. :>)

I learned the same thing on two houses HfH did in Putnam.

Learned a couple of other tricks that saved some time too.

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.

You should have used Union Contractors, now it looks like Billy Bob and
his retarded cousin did the work for you.

She figured it was worth losing a finger or two in the process. :>)

Not me, babe. We have two idiots here "spoofing" my id, probably so
they'll do just as you just did. I don't use the posting services they
do, AND I don't use windoze.

You are only fooling your fellow morons. Here's a giveaway for you and
your partner in crime fellow spoofer: I can write. You and your buddy
cannot.

I really feel a bit sorry for the both of you. You've obviously got
nothing going in your lives, so you feel it necessary to *try* to mess
with others.

You won't succeed.

I'm glad you brought up the subject. When you want to write beyond the
5th grade level, you make an effort to punctuate properly. Have a
spectacular, moronic day.

Sorry...I don't use Windows or aioe to post here. You do, and the other
spoofer has a slightly different setup, using Windows. Who do you think
you are fooling, your fellow morons?

Billy Bob and his retarded cousin *are* union contractors. I saw them
leaning against a shovel the other day.

Nice work Tom.

BTW, you can always make your own header. Just sandwich 1/2" ply between
whatever 2x stock you need. some wood glue, and a bunch of 16s and you're
good to go. In some ways a built up header is better than solid stock. They
wont twist nearly as much when they dry out.

Looks good. What I like is that modern toilet paper holder. Cool. Easy
to load and unload. My cat would think it's great also. Easy to shred
the paper.
