bp-guy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) So my wife and oldest daughter are out of town for a week. I told my wife a long time ago I would do the bathroom for her. So this week was as good as any since I had a week off to do it. I had professionals come in and change out the shower valve,hang the drywall and hardy backer board and spray the texture. I did all the demo work and tile. Still not done yet but the light is definately on at the end of the tunnel. Over all this has been fun to do. But my back is killing me. Tomorrow I need to DO NOTHING!!! After the grout is fully dried I have to seal it all then install the toilet, hang the shower doors and attach the shower accessories.

bp-guy Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks, it wasn't really time consuming either. The tile took about 9 hours to do the walls and floor. Alot of that time was cutting the odd sized ones. Grouting took about 2 hours. EFFEN sponging the walls took forever to get the haze off the tiles. And the demoliton took me about 6 hours and that was done last week to prepare for the assembly this week. The whole project with the labor and materials cost us just under $1600 bucks. We had the tile from our other house tile project so that saved us $$ there. Hopefully the toilet and shower doors will cooperate and I should be done in about 2 more days. Keep in mind I had my 4 year old daughter here too so I was constatly being interruped to put on ANOTHER Disney movie!! Still made good time though.

sand chick Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Looks good! I got to be Mike's assistant on a job while I was unemployed, I loved being the tile cutter! I was fun to learn how to do that kind of work! I like your color choices!! Edited April 18, 2009 by sand chick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltr450 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Looks good too bad you didn't post this project before putting in that shower pan..i'v got a good hop mop guy that charges about $300.00 and will float out the floor for tile for that price..

bp-guy Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I finished installing the doors and re-installed the toilet. DONE!!!! Well almost, one more round of grout sealing and the wife gets to paint the walls. But it's 98% there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
