Clearing out
Moving right along with demolition.
The rest of the shower wall's down. The original shower tray was laid directly on the subfloor with no preslope, and no doubt the drain's weep holes were firmly encased in the original 3-4" thick mud (mortar) floor. That just seems to be the way it was done around here, and still often is.
The tub's gone too. No wonder our bathroom was cold in the winter - where's the insulation? There was none between the shower base and the ventilated attic space over the adjacent garage either. Brrrr!The tub drain has to be removed and a drain line for the toilet has to be run aaaaallll the way over to the original location. To avoid a lot of noise below, it'll be wrapped in fiberglass batting. The rest of the roll will fill in the empty spaces in the walls!
That can't be good!
Not the thing you want to see on your kitchen ceiling on Friday at 2AM, just after your plumber has left on vacation.

geekette! I'm so impressed with your remodeling work. We gutted a bathroom a few years ago, redid the entire thing and as soon as it was all finished....we had to move.
I face another remodeling job with our current bathroom. Maybe you will inspire me to get moving on it! I like your creative use of space.
I want to see a picture of your beavers!
Thanks! I'll get some finished pics up "soon"... and I hope we don't ever have to move!
As for the beavers, you hold 'em down, and I'll snap the picture! I don't see them very often (just their teeth marks), but they love that poor Crepe Myrtle.
A few years ago they gnawed through the neighbor's lattice fence, cut down their 15' twisted willow, and hauled it through the fence and across the lake to their den. Stinkers.
Oh, this is getting exciting!!!

That's like demo porn! You know what you're talking about, don't you? Hee.
OMG... Beavers did THAT?! I'm a California girl, we only have gophers to deal with!
LOL - I'm missing the smut gene, so I have to depend on you for that ;-).
