Bathroom reno.

[NorthernRedneck]

Thanks. That heated floor is nice.

Nothing too exciting today. The tiles behind the tub are grouted. The shower is cleaned up and ready for grout tomorrow.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

The tub and toilet are now installed. All the grout is done. We're almost out of things to do until the counters and glass arrive.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

Perfect timing. We got a call that the glass was in yesterday. They came out to install it today. We're still waiting for a couple pieces of the fixtures to install the taps jets and showerheads.

That is one huge shower, I love it. Enjoy

Oh, we will. It'll be the Cadillac of showers. 3 separate systems in there. One for her with just an overhead rainshower. One for me standing with overhead rainshower and 3 wall jets aimed directly at the trouble spots on my back. For days when I'm having a hard time standing, I have the built-in bench complete with a separate shower wand and 2 wall jets aimed at my back. It's more like a spas.

Still waiting on the counters and shower fixtures to be installed but the blinds came in. We went with the pleated horizontal blinds that can be lowered from the top or raised from the bottom. They'll allow plenty of light to come in and allow us to look outside meanwhile providing protection for the lower part of the window in case a squirrel or tweety bird wants to look at my stuff and think it's a tree branch they can climb or land on. ?

?????

Shower is working. The shower heads are temporary as we had to order different arms that'll clear the door.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

Ok. Even with the different shower heads, we gave it a whirl last night after a hot tub and the pressure was fine with both right and left overhead sprays on. The left overhead only lost pressure when the wall jets were on. Overall we're pleased with how it turned out.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

The proper arms arrived yesterday so this morning I was able to install the correct shower heads for the final product (shower anyways). The counters are in and will be installed this Friday.

I'm looking forward to seeing the counters and everything come together. It looks like your wife has already been in the shower putting some personal girly touches in there .

It's today! It's today! The countertops and cabinets in the kitchen are being installed. First up...the master bathroom.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

The kitchen cabinets.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

We went with a lighter marble counter in the hall bathroom as it's smaller. It'll have a raised bowl sink the same as the master.

I don't much about types of wood, but I sure do like that. What is it...maple maybe?

Wow Brian, your bath reno turned into kitchen reno also. Wow. Projects like that do have a way of growing.

I'm still dealing with a kitchen reno, flooring had been on back order and is going in today. Next week electrical and we still have the backsplash yet to go. Before and after pics once done.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

Lol. It kinda worked out that way. We figured since we're ordering countertops we'd do all the upstairs bathrooms to get rid of the dated tile countertops that were gross and hard to clean. That turned into ordering a bank of cabinets for more storage in the kitchen.

Here's the bathroom with both sinks. They aren't hooked up yet as we have to wait for glue and silicone to dry. That's tomorrow's task.




Here's the hall bathroom with the sink and taps installed.



The kitchen cabinets. The counter is temporary as the quartz counter isn't in yet.

Good guess. It's natural maple. The whole upstairs is maple cabinets with oak trim and hardwood floors.

 

[NorthernRedneck]

We're finally in the closing stages of a complete bathroom reno down to the studs. The only thing left is a couple pieces of tile that had to wait for the counters to be installed. I did the plumbing on the sinks today. We also need to pick out a backslash. It'll last us the rest of the time we're in this house which is hopefully another 40+ years.

Here's the hall bathroom with new sink counter and toilet.
