During: New tub surround153 viewsHere's the rear of the tub area. As you can see, we removed the old tile from the entire bathroom, and were able to avoid putting in new sheetrock outside of the tile area (once we cleaned up a bit better after this picture).

During: Tub area138 viewsAnd still another picture. The hole above the gray underlayment is where the shower head will attach.

In-progress: The tub area135 viewsAt this stage of the picture we had torn out the walls from the tub area, plumbed in a new shower valve, and lined the walls with Hardibacker underlayment.

"Before" picture: Tub area132 viewsAnother shot of the tub area. The old bathroom was in good condition, just quite dated, and no shower facilities.
|
|
"Before" picture: Vanity and Countertop127 viewsHere's a view of the original bathroom's sink/counter area. The old tile was pink. Above the mirror was a very dated flourescent light fixture that wasn't connected to the wall switch -- you had to turn it on via a switch on the side of the light (the wall switch controlled an overhead light).

"Before" picture: Toilet127 viewsThe old, water-guzzling toilet.

During: Tub area121 viewsOne final picture at this stage: you can catch a glimpse of the old carpet here (man that stuff was nasty/toxic to remove)
|
|
"Before" picture: Tub area120 viewsHere's the original tub area. No shower, and lots more pink!

|
During: Tub area120 viewsYet another picture of the tub surround underlayment.
|
|
"Before" picture: Mirror and light117 viewsHere's another picture of the old flourescent light fixture. The three wall switches control an overhead light, vent fan, and heater, but not the flourescent light.

Finished product: Shower area116 viewsHere's a view of the front of the shower area.
|
|
During: Sink/counter area113 viewsAt this stage we've removed all the tile from the room (except for behind the toilet, which we tried to keep in service as long as possible), tore out the old countertop, installed the new sink/countertop, and tiled the entire tub area and back wall. The mirror was removed to protect it during tile removal.
