Bathroom that I remodeled. The client did all the design on how it would look. I came up with the layout and mechanicals.








This is what it looked like before I started. There had been a previous remodel that had allot of problems. There was water damage, magor wood rot and very little room. During demolition, I also took out a closet from the nieghboring bedroom.






You can see some of the wood rot in this picture. You can also see that the floor joists are on 2ft centers. Some were cut short and others were not attached to anything. It looked like a bad repair job during the previous remodel.



I replaced all the damaged wood, more then doubled the number of floor joists along with blocking. I also used metal brackets to attach the floor joists to the sill plate. Everything is attached with 3 inch, exterior, deck screws. I never use nails on repair jobs!!!



I use a 40ml liner to make the shower floor water tight. There is no way that this floor will ever leak, and the only place for the water to go is down the drain!! It's very simple, but extremly effective.








The walk in shower does not have a door. At the back of the shower is a seat and soap dish.









The client came up with all of the layout for the tile except for the soap dish. I came up with this design. It's 32 inches wide and 16 inches tall.





There are allot of transistions for the different types and sizes of tile.








The finishing touch!!!!
