When the Dust Settled

We're a little further along in the duo-bathroom redo now. The day that sheet rock goes in is always special. Suddenly, you start to see the shape of the new rooms!

New tub and shower enclosures go in. All of this needed to be done with extra care to keep from damaging the plaster and lathe walls on the other side. For the most part, this was successful. Hey, there are always little mishaps!

Because we needed to be very exact on toilet, sink, mirror and sconce placement, we created a paper template so the plumbing and electric would be right where we wanted it. We did miss the AC vent placement on the first try. Oops...forgot to tell the contractor we were putting in crown moulding. Oh well, only a minor adjustment needed!

How many people does it take to move a floor-to-ceiling cabinet into a room and get it to stand up? Well, when it just barely makes it, apparently three of us. There were a few words exchanged along the way, but it made it...just barely! Whew!!!

Tile beginning to go in. A wonderful faceted subway-tile, with a simple black band to add visual interest.
We're getting close now! Finished pictures next.
