During: Tub area327 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 area324 viewsAnother shot of the tub area. The old bathroom was in good condition, just quite dated, and no shower facilities.

Finished product320 viewsHere's a view of much of the right side of the room. We installed a new ceramic floor (which this is about the best glimpse of that these pictures show), new toilet, a safety grab-bar for the toilet, and repainted the baseboard heat register. We also made some repairs to the vanity bottom to make it look and work better (Mom's still deciding if she wants new drawer pulls -- they match some other ones elsewhere in the house)

In-progress: The tub area311 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.

During: New tub surround290 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).

"Before" picture: Vanity and Countertop285 viewsThe old countertop was a 1960's faux-marble formica. The mirror was in great condition and we salvaged it.

"Before" picture: Mirror and light285 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.

During: Tub area284 viewsAnd still another picture. The hole above the gray underlayment is where the shower head will attach.

Finished product: Mirror/sink area282 viewsFast forward to the finished product! Here's a view of the sink area, with the mirror installed, all tiling finished, and the new light fixture. Tim went up in the attic to rewire the light above the mirror with the wall switch. Currently the overhead light isn't being used anymore but it's still wired up if Mom decide she wants a little more light in the room-- just have to put a bulb back in it.
