Bathroom reno -end day 1

OK, here we go. Day 1 (Wednesday, January 27, 2010) is the start of demolition. Take a look at the "before" (previous post for a comparative.

Everything has been ripped out: bathtub, 2 cabinets, sinks, faucets, toilet, tiles from floors and walls, wallpaper. We now have the powder room downstairs (no smoking), and the gym for showers.

There is still some more ripping out to do. The inside "door" is being taken up to the ceiling and widened. That will mean cutting out some of the framing. And the lights will get removed. All the new stuff is in the garage, and the new tiles are in the guest bedroom.

The bathtub area is the scariest because it has to be completely rebuilt with plumbing, wallboard and tiles. The drain has to be fitted as well. The tub in the picture is just sitting there, not fitted into place.

There is some wiring required later, but that has been roughly set up.

I think it gets even worse before it gets better.
