Although the room doesn’t look substantially changed, I have made some updates.
I had to have some help when I opened this up. But my objective was to add a light over the tub; I had to do some wiring, drilling and cutting as well as climbing into the dusty attic. This is what I had when I finished.
And it works!
Next up was the toilet. More specifically, there was no way I could change out the floors and still leave the same flange. I talked to my friend Matt; my best bet was to cut the pipe in the garage below and add pipe which would extend above the floor level. I can then cut it to the correct height when my floor is installed.
You can also see in the above picture the added layer of plywood.
I took out that new piece near the door and replaced it with plywood running in the same direction for added strength.
I also replaced the insulation; obviously I need more practice at this.
Although to be fair, the walls on the left have a ton of obstacles!
Next up, I will be installing the CBU, although we do not yet have the tile picked out. Alex wants some sort of blue tile, we will see…
