Bathroom in Progress

The big project of rebuilding the bathroom is underway. It's located where the original bathroom was, but will be 1,000 times better. Here's a series of photos of recent developments. It feels so good to be building instead of tearing out and fixing.

That's the IKEA sink cabinet there on the floor that we picked up in the "as-is" section. It made a temporary appearance to figure out size and placement, then it went back to its hiding place.

Adding some structure to the ceiling, along with a vent fan, a light tube for some more natural light, and junction boxes for the light fixtures.

Light tube partially installed.

Drywall on the ceiling. The light tube really shines!

Another view of the light tube and Big Red, our drywall lift.

Putting leveling compound down on the floor in preparation for laying down luan and backer board for the tile. Look how clean it is!

Backer board down, shower base framed in, and a hole in the floor for the toilet (!). 

Shower walls are starting to happen, plus the first divider that will form a storage cupboard between the bathroom and the laundry room.

That's not really a window in the shower. It will be the access panel for the shower plumbing.
