Shower Progress

It was another weekend of productive housework at the Klaus house!  I have to start off by giving a huge shout-out to my incredible husband.  This man works 9-10 hours days Monday-Friday and then puts in a solid eight hours on Saturday and Sunday on our house.  What a stud.  I couldn't be more thankful for him and all his hard work and drive. 

This weekend, Nick spent a lot of time working on our master bathroom.  The master bathroom has been by far the biggest project in the whole house.  We decided to gut the entire bathroom and start over.  The whole bathroom was out of date and needed a major facelift. 

The biggest job in the bathroom was the shower.  So far, here is what we have done:

We tore our the existing shower and cut into the hallway heater closet in order to expand the shower.  This enabled us to gain a total of 12 inches in length and 8 inches in depth.  We also tore out the false ceiling which makes a huge difference!  The ceiling of the shower is now the same height as the rest of the bathroom.  We had a contractor come in last week and "frame" the shower with wood.  Next step is waterproof sheet rock.... and then TILE!  

 Shower before: See the false wall above the shower?  We tore it out!  The taller the better!

 Shower before: Notice how small the shower is.  Our new shower goes 8 inches deeper and is 12 inches longer. 

 Current shower: You can see the wall we took out between the shower and heater closet.  This photo was taken from our hallway on the other side of the heater closet! 

Current shower: It is hard to tell, but this is the shower framed with wood.  All we need to do now is plumb the new faucets, install the sheet rock, and have our tile guy come out and work his magic!

One day at a time!  We are slowly, but surely getting there.  We are getting excited!
