And The Walls Came Tumbling Down

Well, not exactly. But, here you can see what a cleaned out, blank slate bathroom space looks like. Again, in this renovation we're not really moving anything major, but basically just updating all surfaces and fixtures...and maybe moving a couple of things, just a hair!

This next photo shows something that can be pretty typical of a major renovation, and luckily in this case was not really a surprise. When the existing garden tub was removed, we found that there was no "wall" behind it, much less any insulation! The homeowner has had a long-standing battle with moisture and mildew that would collect behind the vanity to the right of this open space. We're hoping that by adding insulation behind the entire wall area, and putting up proper wall surfacing, this problem will be eliminated.

We are very lucky to have an extremely careful and tidy carpenter on this job. By carefully removing and bagging most of the debris, he was able to keep dust to a minimum, which makes these homeowners very happy! The very last piece to be removed was the old tub, which our carpenter did need a hand with.

From this point on, we're past the "tear-it-up" stage, and full steam ahead on the "make-pretty" stage!

  1. And to think I delayed doing this project for so long because I dreaded the mess and chaos and couldn't decide how I wanted it to look. Violá! Scott brought me wonderful choices with his keen eye and easy manner and Doug is a precision artisan. Both guys are easy on the eyes too! I am SO thrilled to be working with you, Scott. If anyone out there is on the fence about a project, call Scott now! He kept me on budget too. Can't wait to see the finished project!
