I have promised everyone that I would post pictures of our bathroom project so here ya go!The shower in Mom and Pops bathroom was really small and mom and I decided one day that we wanted to change it! I special ordered the shower base and shower doors and then we had to wait. Dave and I were leaving to go and visit the kids so Lynn and Roy planned to build it while Roy was here visiting. The only problem with that was Lowes and Home Depot didn't deliver the stuff on time so Roy couldn't spend his vacation time slaving away on our project!
When we came home mom and I decided Dave had vacationed long enough! To take the old shower out Dave had to saw it in half or it wouldn't go through the doors. We determined that Uncle Leo built this home to last forever. The shower was put in with so many nails and the walls were so well built that the tear out process was much harder than we dreamed it would be. Notice the dust on Dave's clothes, fine fiberglass powder was everywhere.
The shower is out and now here goes the wall and moms swans. Remember those everyone?
Here is our blank slate. We insulated the walls and then put up OSB (or something like that) which is like plywood on the walls.
We put up FRT panels which is the good waterproof stuff for shower walls.
When we were putting up the shower doors Janice stopped by and Dave put her to work putting on the handles and helping hang the doors.
Meledie gave them a brand new shower chair and I calked the shower and painted the room.
I kept remembering what Marty always would tell us..." a little calk and a little paint makes a carpenter what he aint." He was right! We hid a lot of stuff and it looks fantastic!
Dave is our HERO... again!
