Bathroom Renovations

When we first moved in, just about the only good thing about the house’s sole bathroom was that it was fairly spacious. It had a tiny little sink with no counter space or storage, a filthy little medicine cabinet, ugly tiles, ugly walls, and a full-length window that gave a clear view from the back yard directly across to the toilet. It also had no source of heat and had severe termite damage in the floor joists and exterior wall.

It did have a wonderful old cast iron bathtub that was still in excellent condition. That tub was the only thing we kept. The rest of the room was completely torn out and replaced, right down to and including the exterior wall and the floor joists. While construction was going on we spent the winter with only a single sheet of plywood covering the exterior wall. It was cold in there!

Text Box: This is what the bathroom looked like the day we came to look at the house to see if we wanted to buy it. When the home inspector came, these ugly bathroom tiles were the thing that got the highest marks out of the whole inspection!

Another picture of the day we looked at the house to see if we wanted to buy it. The bathroom walls were covered with the same “cabin” looking wood paneling as the kitchen ceiling and hallway.
