Another Bathroom Remodel

Recommended Posts

 Why can’t our tractor hobbies have schedules like these remodel jobs:deadhorse:  

So my middle son and family went to his in-laws in New Jersey. They stay at the family beach house 2 blocks from the “shore”. In Texas we call it beach, but north it’s the shore.  He rents this house from me that I added on to\remodeled 5 years ago. At the time I didn’t replace the cultured marble shower in the  original bathroom, but added a new master bath. So the day after they leave my wife says NOW sure would be a good time to replace that shower with a tub for the grandkids. As some of you know when grandma says it’s for the grandkids kids there is NO negotiating.   I knew getting a 60” long tub in a 60” wide room was going to be fun.

So here’s the old to be removed.

the shower pan came up and slid over the old drain pipe

Chiseling the concrete out of that original box out was a 1/2 day job, but I was done for the day.   No pictures but the original drain needed to move 1” right and roughly 5” forward.  It was a pain to get perfect for the new tub to fit.

I love the new style tile spacers that level the face of the tile.

I need a 1/2” by 2 chrome nipple for a hand shower and final cleaning.

Well done! 
   Do the kids know about it, or will it be a surprise when they come back from the “shore”?

One of my conditions for home renovation tasks is that I no longer do demolition. I hire and direct. Too much bodily wear and tear.
