Once the floor is open I will have a decent understanding on how to tackle that. After finishing the demo I will start tearing up the floor and lay the new toilet drain pipe.
I hope the walls are fairly plum and I don't need to shim much to get everything straight. Overall there is no mold, no rot - everything is sound. I will have to fix some minor electrical issues as well. I don't want to do that in the outside wall since that part will be filled with insulation. I was planning on putting two recessed shelves in the wall for the shampoo and such. Unfortunately when they build the house they used the 2x4 sideways in the shower wall. I will have to remove all of those as well. The studs are covered with nails that were holding the slats in place. But I need to clean up the broken slat pieces with a saw of some sort first. I think I will frame around it to give the drywall something to hang on to. I don't really want to tear off the trim and put it back on. Obviously the door and window trim was attached onto the slats that covered the walls. I will post pictures and I am open to suggestions. Best explanation: the steps leading up to the attic are right on top of the steps leading up from the 1st to the 2nd floor.Īlright, enough of this. The door in the back actually leads to the attic - no idea why you want to access the attic through the bathroom but that's how they build this old house. But having a vanity in the right corner and then the toilet makes much more sense space-wise. I will post pictures once I have the floor opened up. My wife wants to swap sink and toilet position and based on the subfloor board direction the floor joists seem to work in my favor. Goal: The tub will remain in the current location, I will be tiling around the shower/tub walls using backer board and waterproof sealer (Don't know the name of that) - or can I just tape and thinset the seams? I used a 7 foot inspection camera and pushed it down the shower drain - nothing found.) So while I am tearing everything down I will investigate this issue further and maybe someone is able to help. Same issue appeared to the sink a while later. (In short, the shower drain didn't work but the drain pipe was not clogged. Some of the tiles came off the wall, the vinyl floor started peeling up and mainly we had some plumbing issues. I'm new to this forum and this post is documenting the progress of the remodel of my small 2nd floor bathroom and I'm also seeking for advice as I go.Īs you can see on the images below the bathroom was outdated, but that alone didn't call for a remodel.
