Bathroom Renovation #4

Now we can finally start really building back up. The first thing is to put in the tub. Seems simple enough, but it is relatively challenging to cut the drain and overflow PVC pipes to fit perfectly. Apparently if you just wing it and glue the PVC pipes it will not fit and you will have to cut and start over. After some lessons learned we had a functioning tub in place.

Now for one of the more painful operations for a one man team with a wife helper. Hanging drywall. It is easy in principal but can be difficult in practice even with these crazy light new types of thin drywall. I only have a photo of the drywall up to the window, but you get the idea.

You'll also notice that we cut and placed our cement board for the tile in the previous photo. The tile is the next big step. These are pretty decent size porcelain tiles (12x24) which are hard to deal with on my small wet tile saw. Luckily there aren't that many cuts necessary with our 1/3-2/3 style design layout. The key here was planning ahead of time with measurements of the space. Made it much easier and I had zero mistake cuts. That means I have an extra box of tile if anyone needs 16 sqft of crazy cool tile. I used 3/8" spacers for these tiles.
