Bathroom Reno, Part I

The first major renovation project began this week, right on the heels of the long weekend. The plan is to replace the old tub with a nice walk-in rain shower, and eventually add a nice soaker tub in the current laundry room. We're adding some sorely needed ventilation and a pot light in the shower.

We are also replacing the vanity with a nicer and more suitable one, and moving it across the room to a better spot. The washer/dryer stays, but get some new (and recessed!) plumbing and a tabletop, and eventually some cabinetry around it. Some of the outlets are getting an upgrade as well.

The bathroom, laundry room and closet are all getting new flooring.

Thankfully, several days in we have yet to have any real big surprises - always a big plus in a 120-year old house! Week one is in the books, albeit a short week. 

Mike from Redmond's Renovations is doing all the work, with an assist from some plumbers and an electrician....and a few helpful felines. Pinhead even took the opportunity to explore the newly-sealed crawlspace!

Updates forthcoming as the project continues!
