Bathroom Renovations

August 4, 2008 Ben DIY

It’s been 6 days now since we began renovating our bathroom… They say that slow and steady wins the race, but I’m beginning to wonder.

It has been fantastic to have my father and one of our family friends come up and stay with us to do the job. What we’re spending in time we’re saving twice that in labor costs. All we have to do is provide food, bed and beer to keep these workers happy.

Day 1 was destruction.
Day 2 was cleanup and trips to the dump.
Day 3 saw construction of the raised floor.
Day 4 was more floor and some plumbing.
Day 5 (Sunday) was a day of rest, sight seeing and bbq at the lake.
Day 6 has seen the plumbing finished and the walls taking shape…

I hope that we’ll have the rest of the walls up and the shower fitted on day 7, ready for tiling on day 8.
