The finished project

An easy, step by step guide of how to remodel a bathroom!!! Eight easy steps are listed below:

First step - painting the subflooring with waterproof paint stuff:
Second step - putting down the durock flooring:
Step three - put in the tub, and the sheetrock for bathrooms:


Step four - decide to recess your vanity only to find out that the downstairs vent goes through that area and there is no way to re-route the pipe:

Step five, six, seven, and eight: Of course, after that, you need to re-texture three times, flood the downstairs, re-tile twice, and pick out four different cabinets.

After that, you can enjoy the bathroom! A big thank you to my parents - without you we would still be working on it. They helped do the tiling, the plumbing, and welding (did I mention that we tried to burn down the house during that process?) Also, to my brother in law, Brian, for helping us get tile and looking at it the first time to tell us how to do it the second time.

The cabinet that we decided on and ended up having to put together:

The sink:

The light and vanity: We ended up turning the fixture upside down so that it would fit:

The whole look:

The toilet:

The tub:

The decorative tile that Brandon died finding out the price per 12 inch square:

The corner piece and a look of the tile:

The floor that was tiled diagonally:

The molding around the door:

The fun part is still to do. Buy the towel racks, new shower curtain, etc. But at least we have a functioning bathroom. I hope that you enjoyed watching the transformation. Today marks 8 weeks since we started the project!
