Bathroom Renovation

It has been awhile since our last post and we are now in the midst of a bathroom renovation.

Just to fill you in on the details; the pre-existing condition was arranged so that there was a closet just outside the bathroom and a small "hallway" that led to the bathroom door. The interior (as you'll see) had been "updated" from the original Victorian decor to a rather psychedelic '70's style. The original layout included only a bathtub (aside from the toilet and sink). So, we previously didn't rely on this bathroom to bathe.
The fact that we weren't used to using this bathroom for everyday activities has helped us to get through the renovation process with a little less pain. Still, we are very anxious to get it done.

The new bathroom design has included taking out the closet and original bathroom wall (adjacent to closet) and expanding it by about 3 feet. While this is not a huge addition, it does allow us to change the circulation and give more space to the bathroom without losing any in the back hallway. We also had a wall put in behind the tub to run plumbing for a shower and also had the plumbing roughed in for the attic. This will allow us to have another bathroom in the attic once/if we get that space finished. The electric has been installed and now we are waiting on dry wall and tile to finish up the job (not to mention re-installing the toilet and the sink). Check back for updates.
