At that time, it was the only bathroom in the house so we were not about to start a remodel. Once the basement bathroom was complete, we could finally turn our attention to the upstairs bathroom.</p>
<p>The real problem with the bathroom was the shower walls. They were falling appart. Tile was falling off the wall and the wall itself was mushy. It was bad when we moved in, but got worse over the years. In the back of my head I knew that once I started tearing into the shower walls we would end up remodeling the entire bathroom, and that is exactly what happened.</p>
<p>The bathroom was stripped down to bare studs and the original floor. Everthing was replaced, plumbing, electrical, mildew infested studs, subfloor under the tub, all the fixtures, the list goes on and on.</p>
<p>In the end, I am glad we did it. It took a whole lot more time that I had hoped. It was even more expensive than I planned, but not significantly. The total bill end up at $1800, not including the cost of our time to install everything. That is not bad considering everything you see in the bathroom is brand new.</p>
<p>The new color scheme is far brighter and more airy than before. We went to great lengths to make the bathroom feel larger than it is, and I think it works very well.</p>|||
