Bathroom Renovation

Completely renovated my mom’s bathroom. Took me ~100 hrs. Here is pictures from beginning to end. Click on the images for larger uncropped versions and short descriptions.

$So I never got any pictures of before I started deconstructing the room. What happened here is the toilet had a slow trickle leak that over time ruined the entire floor. It wasn\'t very obvious until I tore the lino off and started prying up the sub floor. This looks like black mold so it was pretty serious damage.$

$I had to leave the taps on because I didn\'t have access to any shutoff valves besides the water main.$

$In the last picture the drain wasn\'t on. That\'s because whoever did the drain didn\'t glue it properly and EVERY SINGLE JOINT leading back to the main drain was... fucked. I pulled all the pieces apart by hand and gave them a good sand before properly gluing them.$

$On the left you see the taps on again. No shutoff valves for the tub either so that\'s the best I could do. The bucket is because there is a slow drip (shot seals).$

$This is where real building begins. I\'m boxing in the old clawfoot tub because a) my mom wants to shower in it without the risk of water damage, b) it\'s an awesome bathtub$

$Getting some drywall on. I\'m just making things up here.$

$Here is the tiles I cut to go around the tub edge. Used a bandsaw. I chipped #3 but... good \'nuff.$

$Painted the room a tan color (I don\'t know what the actual color would be called.$

$Funny story: Me: \"Mom could I just put the lights and exhaust fan on one switch?\" Mom: \"Sure that would be fine.\" Tie everything in, close up the attic. Mom: \"I\'d like a separate switch for the fan.\" Fuck. I\'ll change the plug to a GFCI, that is just temporary.$

$Grout\'s in.$

$Forget to mention, while building the floor I put a new boot on here to turn the heat register 90 degrees so it wasn\'t half under the vanity.$
