During the Renovation

Let the party begin.  This is Joey and his younger brother at the beginning of their venture.  The multiple levels have been brought down to a single plain.  The shower removed and plumbing exposed.

This used to be the shower and that was the original placement of the toilet.

The drywall is attached to the walls with a few more pieces to go.

Somehow he managed to make a perfect cut with every single piece of drywall.  I got to help on these high pieces.  Phew, I'm exhausted.

He started the tiling at this point and you can see the framing for the water closet and the jacuzzi tub.

It's hard to see what the tile looks like, but let me tell you....It's amazingly gorgeous.  The floor tile is a slate colored matte tile and the walls of the shower and bath are the same tile in a high gloss.

I think the tile has been the most difficult part of the process so far.

He installed hardy backer behind the show pan to water proof it.

The he applied the tile using spacers to keep them even.

Using the same technique he put the tile up on the wall next to the bathtub.

Still a lot of work to do and then we take a break before we start the next major renovation....the kitchen!
