Bathroom Re-Do Update #3-A ~ Day 1

Well, we're in the middle of it now!

Bathroom Re-Do Update #3 - Demo Day #1

As you can see, demolition has begun!

Bathroom Re-Do Update #2

Well, our work is done.... for now. We were going to install recessed lights that could be focused on different elements but we found this great halogen light fixture. It allows us much greater flexibility positioning the focal points. As an added feature we adjusted one light on the shower and we can now see in there! See how the light bathes the walls?
In addition, we replaced the almost 20 year old exhaust fan with a much quieter version from Hunter that has a light too! It also has a night light that we declined to wire. BTW, did you know there is such a thing as glow-in-the-dark grout?
I can hardly wait until the tile is in, the walls painted and all the new wall elements (many already purchased) are up!
The tile work will start on Wednesday, otherwise known as demo day :-P

Bathroom Re-Do Update #1

Well, the ceiling is patched and painted. It looks marvelous!
Next is the new light fixture, coming this weekend!

Now a NEW Feature: Ecclydeiastes

Miss Linda's subserviant day laborer began to wonder at about this point what the value of $300 really was to him...

Bathroom Re-Do

We finally got a decent quote to semi-remodel the master bath, right after we had decided to just get new shower glass and live with what we had....
We decided to scrape the popcorn off the ceiling and patch and repaint ourselves to save $300. The scraping was quite easy, just messy. The patching is drying as we speak. Here are some before, during and after pics of the job so far.
Oh, BTW we also installed a new fan and will be putting up new lighting :-0
