no toilet yet

7 days later... little behind schedule. i thought i had included some contingency for re-dos, mess ups, and other difficulties, however my safety factor may have been underestimated. cutting and hanging drywall may be my least favorite of the re-assembly. the ceiling went well, with some robotic help, but navigating 8ft pieces of drywall into this room and squeezing them into place has not been fun, especially when the walls are not exactly straight. next time i will hire out the drywall and taping.

my strong robot friend holding the drywall in place, best $25 i have ever spent



i knew preparing the subfloor would be a little tricky, but after installing the new 1/2" ply and 1/4" cement board i thought i would be in good shape. but a solid base is not necessarily a level base, and after getting some 2nd and 3rd opinions i opted for application of a leveling compound to get rid of some seams and bring up the tub side of the floor. i was intimidated about pouring a soupy mix all over the floor, but in the end it was pretty simple and i think it will be time and money very well spent.

looking psyched? while it has been stressful it was 30 minutes with a wet saw cutting tile that gave me the grey hair



smooth (ish) sailing for tiling tomorrow night... hopefully, unless i decide to apply another layer of leveling compound.
