Bathroom Project Day 1

I took some time off between Christmas and New Year's to remodel our downstairs bathroom. Here are some "before" pictures:

We're not a fan of the avocado/black tile scheme, as well as the oak cabinets that don't seem to fit right.

The sink, vanity and medicine cabinet are history.

Next I take a small sledgehammer to the drywall. I had to be careful not to punch through to the adjacent room. Note that the tile sits in a thick, steel mesh reinforced bed of mortar.


I made a mess...
The ceiling drywall is removed also - could of probably lived with it, but there were already two layers and some history of mold. The bathroom didn't have a fan, but we're going to fix that. It was kinda fun punching the ceiling out from the attic.

Now that the tile is out of the tub surround, I had to wrestle out the steel mesh from the wall.

End of Day 1 progress...
