RENO DAY #3

Day 3 of Reno 2011

Since there wasn't much visible progress yesterday, I opted to wait till today for an update.

So without further delay....

The Ensuite....laid the foundation and started tiling.

The Master Bathroom....plumbing finished, shower base installed (although right now covered up with protective cardboard), concrete drywall in shower installed, floor mudded, and ceiling fan installed.

The Powder Room....tiles laid down.

And one more bonus pic....

Luckily we have no furniture in the living room, makes for a great staging area!

Well....things are moving along nicely.

Next time should see some real progress!

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!

AND SO IT BEGINS....

Today was day 1 of Reno 2011....
...and that means DEMOLITION!


First the Ensuite...toilet removed, floor ripped up and counter top removed.

And then the Master Bathroom: bathtub/tiles/old drywall removed, toilet removed, floor ripped up, counter top/sink removed.

And the Powder Room. This room is the furtherest along, they have removed all fixtures, ripped the old tile up, and already mudded the floor (i think that's the correct term).

Well under way. Should see some serious progress by tomorrow.

This is the first attempt at blogging....so what better way to do it then with a Home Reno!

We are going to be remodeling 3 (out of our 4) bathrooms as they are in dire need of an update (unless you're a fan of the pink bathtub!).

Here is the current state of affairs:

Master Bathroom is getting a major overhaul

As is the En Suite

The Powder Room is receiving a face lift as well

Here is what to expect:

Master Bathroom:

- tub is getting ripped out and replaced with a shower only

- new tiles on shower and floor

- no shower door, just a 3/4 glass partition

- new counter tops

- new sink

- new fixtures in shower and sink

- new ventilation system

En Suite:

- new floor tiles

- new counter top

- new sink

- new tap

- new toilet

Powder Room

- new floor tiles

- new tap

THE CHANGES HAVE ALREADY BEGUN!

We have picked out the tile. It will be the same tile on all floors and shower walls for uniformity. 

The tile is actually a nice beige hard to see in this pic

The counter tops have been selected and ordered (it's hard to shoot a reflective surface, but is a nice brown marble pattern)

The fixtures are determined too

Well that's it for now...

We wait for the marble shower insert and counter tops to be delivered.

In a couple weeks time the demo starts....and the fun! Till then...
