Title: Long non-vw project.... DONE
Post by: matt on December 04, 2012, 08:28:34 pm



                                      Well,  I know it took me a little while, but hey, some people have garages done, but for me,.....   whistleegi



  and now........



                              The bathroom is finally finished!!!




                                but  of course ran into quite a few issues  bawlin)0  bawlin)0








                                some very big problems which I     could not figure out   [gunfiring\








                              So I went to plan    "B"

  Actually went from this.....

 (http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt345/SPARKDOG2/workbig-1.jpg)








  Subfloor repair, plywood bulid-up, cement board,  new floor tile, new threshold, new door frames, and door


(http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt345/SPARKDOG2/25flor.jpg)




  All new walls, reframed the wall studs for bigger mirror, new wiring for outlet and lights

(http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt345/SPARKDOG2/wallmirror.jpg)




  New sink and associated plumbing, new..... commode....

(http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt345/SPARKDOG2/25sinkcomode.jpg)




   
          New tub ( what a pain to put in) all new wall plumbing and adapted new drain system to our old 42 year old drain system.  Seemed like the fun would never stop!



  (http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt345/SPARKDOG2/tuzzzzzzzzzb.jpg)



  All new tile on new backerboard, and sound insulated shower wall which shares Katie's bedroom wall to cut down on "Shower Noise"   :confused04:;

  OK, what's next?  ??????

    And there was a few side tracks along the way, .... including replacing the impeller in the washer.... hey, took some time!  & that sucker was a pain!!!!!!!


        

 like doing majorplumbing work -  moving my water conditioner tank  and remove the old pressure tank to make room for a newer bigger one...

Oh my, now thats attractive.   Just what I always wanted.... to look like the Michelin Man!  Or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man for you Ghostbusters fans.

Gives a whole new meaning to, "Does this make me look fat?"
