..OUR BATHROOM DISASTER BEFORE AND AFTER..

ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO RAY AND I DECIDED TO DO SOME REMODELING ON THE HOUSE..THE ENTIRE HOUSE NEEDS ODDS AND ENDS DONE WITH IT BUT WE WENT WITH THE OBVIOUS FIRST AND STARTED WITH THE BATHROOM..WE STILL AREN'T "DONE" WITH IT YET THOUGH..RAY NEEDS TO PUT THE TRIMMING AROUND THE TOP AND BOTTOMS OF THE WALLS AND THE WINDOW AND THEN WE WILL CALL IT DONE BUT I WAS REALLY ANXIOUS ABOUT GETTING BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES UP SO I THOUGHT I WOULD TONIGHT..HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS THE PICTURES AND THE NEWLY DONE BATHROOM..I KNOW I DO..

THERE WAS CARPET ON THIS FLOOR..I HAVE PICTURES SOMEWHERE BUT CAN'T FIND THEM RIGHT OFF THE BAT BUT IT WAS NASTY WHITE CARPET..WE HAD A LEAK WHERE THE TUB MEETS THE WALL AND IT HAD BEEN THERE A GOOD WHILE..THEN ENTIRE WALL AND FLOOR WERE ROTTED OUT..

THE SHOWER..IT HAD PLY BOARD FOR HALF THE WALL..

THE HIDEOUS HUGE SINK THAT TOOK UP MOST THE BATHROOM ITSELF..THERE WAS ALSO A LEAK UNDER THERE..

PINK PLASTIC TILE..THE WALL WAS SO ROTTED THAT IT DIDN'T TAKE NOTHING TO PULL THE TILE OFF THE WALL..JOEY(THE GUY THAT HELPED RAY WITH THE BATHROOM IS A PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTOR AND HE SAID IN HIS HOWEVER SO MANY YEARS OF WORKING IN CONSTRUCTION HE HAD NEVER SEEN PLASTIC TILE BEFORE)..NEEDLESS TO SAY NEITHER HAVE WE..

RAY WAS TAKING PLUMBING FROM THE SINK HERE..

MORE TILE AROUND THE TUB..

THE LEAK..........PRETTY OBVIOUS HUH..??..

THE ROTTED FLOOR BY THE TUB..THERE WAS 4 LAYERS OF ROTTED FLOOR..

THE WALL AFTER THE TUB AND HALF THE WALLS AND TILE WERE OUT OF THERE..!!!!..

MORE ROTTEN FLOOR GONE..JOEY SAT THE TOILET UP ON CENTER BLOCKS FOR US..WE HAD TO WAIT 3 DAYS FOR THE DAMPNESS TO DRY OUT BEFORE WE COULD EVEN START ON REMODELING.. 

MORE WALL..

LATER ON WE DECIDED TO TAKE OUT THIS PART OF THE FLOOR TOO..

THE TUB AND HARDY BACKER ARE NOW IN PLACE..RAY IS PUTTING UP DRY WALL NOW..

AND THE LAST PIECE OF DRY WALL IS IN..NOW WE CAN START TAPING AND MUDDING..

 

THE TAPING AND MUDDING ARE NOW IN PLACE..I HELPED WITH THAT..:):)

PRIMING THE WALLS NOW..GETTING THEM READY FOR THE PAINT..2 COATS..

THE SHOWER IS FINISHED ALSO..BRAND NEW TILE..

THE BOTTOM WE DECIDED TO GO WITH BARN YARD RED..

THE TOP WE WENT WITH A LIGHT BROWN..I CAN'T REMEMBER THE COLOR NAME..

NOW FOR THE FINISHED PROJECT..HOPE YOU'RE READY..

ENTERING THE BATHROOM..THE BOARDER IS BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS..

MORE OF THE ENTRANCE WAY..RAY STILL NEEDS TO PUT MY TRIMMING UP ON THE WINDOW SO I HAD TO MAKE THE CURTAINS WORK IN A CHEAP WAY SO THEY ARE TACKED UP FOR NOW..

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BATHROOM..

MORE..

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS DECORATION..

MY SQUARE SINK..

I FOUND THIS MIRROR IN PAPA'S CLOSET..I REALLY LIKED IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS OLD AND IT WAS RUSTED..RAY DIDN'T LIKE IT AT FIRST BUT IT GREW ON HIM..

SOME DECORATIONS..

THE FLOOR THAT RAY WORKED SO HARD ON..I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO LIKE IT AT FIRST BUT I LIKE IT NOW.......

I REALLY LIKE MY NEW BATHROOM AND CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE TRIMMING UP BUT THAT WON'T BE UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS SO THATS THAT..

*OH THE JOY OF HOME OWNERSHIP*
