Worked on putting in the new shower faucet...

Here's the old

Used the new style copper fittings. Shark bite... no soidering, no flux... just cut and push together.

Put in the shower sprayer... this pic isn't so funny...

But it is when you realize what I'm standing on...

The new shower faucet and drain pull

Then buttoned up this update with the new faucet

I downloaded these pics yesterday... now today I did all the grout. I got pics and will download later....

So after the tile got laid... grout time....

The playin in the mud isn't bad but the clean up sucks..

The big style now is to have mirrors that look like they are hung frames. So after I got my mirrors cut/broke down to the proper size (due to adult height vanities). I framed them out with some more chair molding trim

Then for my upcoming LED/crown molding design... I cut down some tile board into 7" tall strips... nailed that over the disgusting border

A support strip for added nailing

Put up the top molding and the big crown corners

I ruffly put in one piece and you can see what it will be. LED rope lights will go all arond the room between the 2 trims, lighting the ceiling.

Then I hung the matching toilet cabinet. I'm still going to add some more trim to the top to make it match the vanity

That is all the main bath... I have also put up the new shower curtain rod, new all white linen shower curtain and put the toilet back in. It looks great.

Now I actually finished today.. the half bath.

New toilet

Installed the vanity

Faucet and plumbing

Then framed this mirror, put in the shoe molding, the toilet cabinet, tp roll, and towel ring

All just in time to fly out to visit dad this weekend... then mom tells me that while I'm down there she wants me to install the tin backsplash like I did in her kitchen... man o man... no wonder I'm tired.

Gas Man · 03-05-2009, 01:19 AM

How about... um... NO. Bad enough when I go visit dad this weekend, mom wants me to work down there too!! GRRR

Love it!!! I am SOOO glad the new place we're getting is already remodeled, that's a lot of work!

Gas Man · 03-06-2009, 01:35 AM

I said the same thing... "well at least I won't have to remodel anything". YEAH RIGHT

it just takes a couple years.. then I got bit by the remodel bug...

Just wait, after this... I'm going to finish painting the rest of the house.

Everything looks incredible man. Absolutely love the tile around the top of the tub like that. The black vanity looks great too. My mom loves this stuff and always watched HGTV. Made me love the fancy style sinks and faucets.

Thanks man... the vanities are actually dark dark brown... just like the towel rings.. but they all look black in the pic.
