The Master Bathroom - A Progress Report

Work started last Friday. The room was gutted and cleared. Rough plumbing was completed. We put an ad in the local newspaper and sold the cast iron clawfoot bathtub for $300.

Monday through today (Thursday), a lot has been completed. The rough electric was put in , the new linen closet was built, the shower floor pan was installed, and a stub wall between the shower and where the new vanity and sink will be was built. Today, the first coats of drywall compound were applied.

Tomorrow, the floor was supposed to be tiled, but that has been moved to next Monday. Instead, drywall compound will continue to be applied, and the plumber will install the new shower tower control valve, as well as performing a repair to the plumbing vent system so that the washing machine doesn't flow sudsy water into the downstairs toilet when it drains.

All in all, things are moving right along. The longest lead time item is going to end up being the glass surround for the shower, which cannot be started until the cultured marble is up, so that final dimensions can be calculated for the glass.
