Popular Post xxdabroxx Posted September 14, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I asked about finishing this in another thread, but never posted the finished results. I kept meaning to take pictures with my camera rather than my phone but that never happened. It's a piece of 3/4 birch that I found in the stack at the local Home Depot and it was just big enough to get all the parts out of. I think the bottom rail is a little fat, but not so much that I wanted to cut it off after it was done. I used half lap joints with a bevel on the meeting surfaces to match the drawer fronts of my cabinet I built a while back and finished with Minwax wipe on poly. Sorry for the crap pictures, maybe I'll convince myself to take some better ones tonight. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks G, after about a year of remodeling (my oh my how projects grow) it is darn nice to have a mirror again. When I started the bathroom it had a small junk vanity under the window with the toilet to its left (still there although rotated 90 deg) and a tiny 30" shower right of the vanity as you face it with about a 7' ceiling height. Tore out the whole room to the dirt and poured a raised slab where the floor joists used to rest on chunks of firewood and rebuilt from there (found many interesting construction practices in my house). I've learned a lot over the last year, everything from plumbing, to drywall, to tile, to cabinet building. Pretty happy with the result though. Now I've just got to make the rest of the house match, pantry is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Eric. Posted September 14, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Nice job man. That's a great looking bathroom...I love the Asian flair. Good job on the vanity, too. I'll see your birch and raise you a bubinga. I just hung this one yesterday. And my killer new frameless shower door that I spent way too much money on...still need to touch up some paint, hence the tape... Sorry to glom onto your thread man...didn't feel like starting my own. Hey, they're both bathrooms. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxdabroxx Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Looks good Eric, I like the subway tile, and your floor tiles look a lot like mine. I can use my shower without making a mess so I'm saving the money on the door (you'd think they would be cheaper since they are saving on the aluminum frame ). The GF on the other hand, not so good at keeping the water in the shower. But if I put a door up I couldn't pinch her butt and scare the heck out of her without her catching me. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to frame a 2x6 wall there because the original wall was so out of plumb so I have an extra deep window sill. House is like a puzzle. Definitely come a long way from this: Tricky part was getting it all built without messing up the stucco on the outside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Bathroom looks great, Dave. You did everything yourself? Is that a doorless shower or you just havent put the door yet? What waterproofing did you go with under the tile? That wall tile is is awesome, good choice ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 This looks great! I think bathrooms are kinda fun to remodel, maybe i just like doing tile work. The birch looks really cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done most of the work myself, gotten a lot of help from my dad and some from a couple friends. The shower is doorless, I mentioned earlier it works fine for me, but the GF gets some water on the floor. It's just about 6' x 3' interior dimensions. The house is in the foothills near a river so I thought the wood look would be fitting. Under the tile is WR drywall, then a layer of tar paper, then chicken wire, then conc. then the tile. (Tile buddies did most of the work from the chicken wire out, I set the floor and did all the grouting) the floor of the shower has a rubber shower pan that laps up the walls about 8" and has drypack on top of it to create the slope in the floor. I need to add a light to the shower still but I'm kinda over it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
