First, there is a method to our madness… so as you start to read about the bathroom remodel, we do have a plan but so many things depend on something else being done that it will seem like chaos to anyone not hearing all of our side conversations. Trust me, there is a plan so stick with us as the ultimate vision (at least in my head) is absolutely gorgeous.
The new tub is here (not in) but so that we knew where to move the drainage from the side wall (under what was the big window) to the center, we had to get the tub (it is a middle drain). We were hoping there would be a template on one of the cardboard sides and unfortunately there was not. We were not super thrilled about this knowing we could be off an inch one way or another (from side to side) we are good with longways. You will see in the picture then that we have the actual drainpipe buried but we put a 4″ pipe around it which will allow us to move the drainpipe from side to side as needed. Genius! (the only reason Chad keeps me around as I like to think outside of the box).
Since that needs to cure AND we have to tile the floor and still need to move the plumbing to the back wall, we could not sit idle. Ok, really, we had to move to the next step as we need to run electrical and cannot move the plumbing for the shower until electrical is ran so we can close the ceiling…otherwise that area of the house would be HOT. We installed the shower fan/vent and happy to say, it has an automatic dehumidifier in it so that will be super nice as long as being able to change the color, brightness and will play music. Super fancy, lol! We also got the back wall all insulated and the cement board up. We did go with the jean insulation as it has worked really well in the kitchen expansion.
I did have to chuckle this weekend as Elise, and I were talking about shower heads and I did admit that is one thing that is stressing me out. I don’t know what I want so I end up just not looking. I did tell her I won’t worry about it until Chad tells me or rather asks…where is it. Well…that happened this weekend as he wants to start prepping in his head. I guess that is on my to-do list for this week (figuring out what I want). Suggestions? Let me know!
