In the middle of my small condo bathroom remodel
Comments (8)Well it was a loooooong weekend but everything went as planned and was accomplished. We ended up stapling the heavy plastic up we had left over from the moisture barrier behind the walls. Then I used the last of it and fashioned a shower curtain and stapled that to the ceiling. End result is a workable bathroom and some extra spackling to cover up some staple holes next weekend when the shower is tiled. Totally gutted Saturday morning: End of the day Saturday progress after plumber done with the new tub and piping rough in, floor 70% done, half the ceiling and part of the wall green board up: End of Sunday Progress new floor totally in, all green board and Hardie board up, toilet in temporarily (need to take it out again next weekend to do beadboard and floor grouting), and plastic hung: "Shower Curtain" up:...See More1 Bathroom into 2, am I crazy?
Comments (11)Am I ever glad you posted this query...I am fighting with my husband about this right now concerning our split-level bathroom remodel. He is someone who ALWAYS says "no" to any change just because it is change...drives me absolutely crazy. I would do this without a moment's hesitation. We have just two good sized bedrooms on the top level, and I want to change a horrible single bathroom design that can be accessed from both the master bedroom and main hallway. I want to create two small bathrooms by dividing the one main bath and incorporating the bedroom's walk-to-the-bathroom area into a small complete master bath which would have a shower that is 40'"x60" (8 inches wider than the current shower area) plus a second complete bath with a shower-tub combo. Like your design, my result would be two small baths,; but each would function much better than my current one bath design disaster. I say go for it...makes sense to me! I am convinced adding a bath makes resale sense. My husband says he is living in our house not someone else who might buy it...very limited thinking to me!...See MoreI am gutting two bathrooms
Comments (26)Material cost is only a fraction of the equation. Labor costs make up a bigger percentage of total price and that will vary from location to location. rural Texas is likely a much lower COLA than the New York metro area. If you get a at least four quotes, carol, from those hiring the subs, only than can you get a realistic view of what your individual project will cost. My only advice is to not accept a low ball quote for the showers. Waterproofing and properly sloped pans are essential. In retrospect I wish I bought a Kohler shower pan. So many horror stories on the bath and remodel forums pertaining to uncontracted inexpensive shower constructions. This week alone I have seen five examples of issues. Mistakes happen even with a contract, as I found out but If you have a strong contract specifying how the shower will be constructed and waterproofed if it fails you have redo or refund protection. Also take pictures of every step of construction incase you need to trouble shoot any issues later. Good luck....See MoreAm I Crazy? Bathroom wallpaper.
Comments (35)I also grew up in NYC in a building complex built in the late 1920s. No central air and there was no vent in the bathroom, just a small window in the shower we would crack open for ventilation. My mother wallpapered the bathroom and it lasted many years but eventually began to peel at the edges. I do not know how she installed it but since she's an artist and the type to do everything correctly, I suspect she used the right techniques. The room definitely got steamy and moist on a daily basis as it was the primary bathroom for two teens....See MoreBeerpocketbook
