Last Fri I told you lot guys almost our DIY bath remodel that's underway. If you lot haven't yet, caput over to encounter the total weblog post,with all the "before" photos as well as my inspiration. Today I'm showing you lot guys the truly scary role (demo) as well as how we've started moving around walls.

Check out the total series:

I made a diagram to give you lot an thought of the bath layout. It's definitely non to scale. but you lot instruct the feel of things. In the "before" floorplan, you lot tin sack encounter the carve upward tub as well as shower on the left. There is truly a 4' x 4' drinking glass block window inwards a higher identify the tub. That's staying. Although I REALLY want I could supervene upon it, that would involve cutting the outside wall, patching stucco, as well as the toll of the novel window. We decided it was toll prohibitive as well as I'll simply crusade to move the window into my design.

The other large alter is the linen closet/ privy area. Like I said in my terminal post, the onetime blueprint didn't allow for a H2O closet, or enclosed surface area around the toilet. This is a major pet peeve of mine. Nobody wants to encounter or odour a toilet. Luckily, I figured out what nosotros could practise that wouldn't involve ripping upward the entire foundation. I say you lot to a greater extent than almost that inwards a minute.

The star of the remodel is going to hold upward the new, custom shower, then that way the tub as well as the cramped fiberglass shower that came amongst the solid had to go.

Take a expect at the flick below as well as you'll encounter why I telephone telephone demo the scary part. Swinging a hammer isn't terrifying, but when you lot measuring dorsum as well as realize you lot simply ripped giant holes inwards your house, it's pretty unnerving. It's worth it though... or then I hear.

Once the tub as well as shower were out, nosotros ripped out the brusk wall betwixt the two. We likewise removed the linen cupboard as well as the wall around it.

With a laid upward clean slate, nosotros could practise our ain floorplan. Here's what nosotros are planning on. The vanity is going to alter a bit, but for the most part, the major changes are outlined inwards orange.

By moving the linen cupboard to the other wall as well as rotating the toilet, it gave us plenty room to construct the much needed H2O closet.

I framed upward the novel walls traditionally, but similar most remodels at that spot were some weird cuts as well as pocket-sized spaces. The novel wall dividing the shower is where the shower plumbing is run. I needed to add together some blocking for an adjoining wall to connect to, but the infinite was way to narrow to jibe a boom gun, fifty-fifty my Compact Paslode Nailer.

Luckily, I was simply sent a novel pneumatic palm nailer from Ridgid Power Tools. It's my novel favorite toy! A palm nailer is ideal for tight places where swinging a hammer isn't possible.

It industrial plant then fast! If you lot haven't used 1 before, it's truly simple. It has a magnetic shaft which holds almost whatsoever size nail. You tin sack adapt the depth to accommodate your material. I made a petty video to exhibit how a palm nailer industrial plant inwards action.

I convey tiny hands but was able to command the nailer amongst no problem as well as secure my block just where it needs to be.

Since the ii walls of the shower are both outside walls, I needed to brand certain to insulate. I abhor fiberglass insulation! If you've e'er touched the stuff you lot know what I'm talking about. Although it looks similar cotton fiber candy, it's truly made upward of millions of tiny sudden shards of drinking glass that terminate upward everywhere - including inwards your skin.

While stuffing it into the cavities betwixt the studs, I was certain glad to convey a nice pair of leather gloves. I filled ii walls as well as my hands were prophylactic as well as itch-free. My Husky gloves are likewise H2O resistant, then I'm definitely hanging on to them for futurity projects

Here's how the tub surface area looked earlier nosotros started,

and how it looked afterward a pair Saturday's worth of work.

Here's the onetime linen cupboard as well as privy space,

and straightaway the novel H2O closet.

Taking photos inwards a bath is tricky, hopefully you lot tin sack instruct an idea.

So, practise you lot respect that giant hole inwards my novel wall? It's at that spot on role as well as it's going to hold upward awesome! That's going to hold upward a massive medicine cabinet as well as I convey a cool thought for the door. My finish is to instruct that done amongst calendar week as well as I'll portion it amongst you lot guys equally shortly equally it's done.

I know it doesn't expect similar much, but we're getting there. We've made some major progress on the shower, then brand certain to halt past times for updates. The large scale subway tile I select from The Builder Depot is so, then good! Wish me luck!

Let's hold upward friends! Follow along then you lot don't fille a thing!
