The exterior had to be completely rebuilt using 2x4s. |
This wall, toilet and flooring all came out! |
Here we are repairing the floor joists. The tub was moved for optimal support. |
The joists had to be reinforced and repaired from the water damage. The subfloors were replaced with new wood and the walls were moved out one foot to allow us a larger bathroom. All walls were rebuilt using 2x4s. I insisted on using plywood for walls instead of drywall to alleviate water damage to drywall in the future.
We used plywood for the ceiling and walls. They were sealed with Kilz then painted. We opted for a natural feel. We started with white trim, we later replaced it with wood trim to match the rest of the house.
The toilet was replaced with an enviro-flush bucket system 1.6gal water and 10+ rating for flush! (Home Depot $80) |
All fixtures in bathroom are brushed nickel. |
Window for fresh air and natural light. The trim stain is English Chestnut. |
The baskets were a thrift store find at $5.35 total. |
Reclaimed interior door cleaned and painted. (Free) |
Nice sturdy tub surround that screwed directly to the plywood walls. |
Made in USA steel tub! (Home Depot $109) |
CFL bulbs are used in new lighting throughout the house. Window up high from optimal privacy. |
Give us feedback. We hope you enjoyed the before and after! More to come! |
