Bathroom Remodel 7: Finished
I really let this project drag on. We’ve had a functional bathroom for weeks, but I haven’t really had a chance to finish the drywall and paint. We entertained guests a couple of weekends ago, which made me put off sanding the drywall mud. After they left, the wife broke the central vaccuum. She somehow sucked up a three foot long rubber band that she uses to work out. After disassembling it a few times, I eventually got it out. Last weekend, I finally got around to painting the beadboard and trim.

Bathroom Remodel 5: Tile
Last week, I put on my general contractor hat and oversaw the tile and plumbing jobs. This is what the floor looks like:

Bathroom Remodel 4: Progress
On Monday afternoon, the wife put a couple of coats of stain blocking primer on the ceiling and walls. I realize I still have some bumps to smooth out on the ceiling patch, but it looks okay.

Bathroom Remodel 2: It Begins
Although I just posted the Bathroom Remodel Plan, I actually started working on the room a couple of weeks ago when the wife was out of town. I figured that since I was going to fill the house with dust from the Hardwood Floor Patch Job, I might as well start skim-coating the bathroom walls with mud. To begin, I had to take everything out and scrape down the walls and ceiling.

Bathroom Remodel 1: The Plan
We’ve never been too pleased with the bathroom in our tiny house. The previous owners remodeled it immediately before selling. As a matter of fact, we first viewed the house when the room was under construction. In retrospect, I should have asked them to give us an allowance in lieu of finishing the room. They did some good structural work beneath the floor, but everything else was done on the cheap. Here’s what the room looked like when we bought the house. We tried to dress it up a bit with fixtures, but it was like putting lipstick on a pig.
