My house was built in 1868. It was rehabbed in the 1970s and the rooms were reconfigured.
There was no upstairs bathroom so a bathroom was installed in what I think was the master bedroom closet located under a high pitched roof.
There is not enough room for a bathtub or a sink.
The water pressure isn't the best.
I will need 150 square feet of tile to cover every square inch of the bathroom in tile.
I don't know a thing about rehab or plumbing.
I will hire a general contractor.
I am looking for suggestions regarding:
1. When I rip out the shower wall what will I need to replace and what do I replace it with. (Right now there is an old shower head with two handles to regulate the water temperature. I have no idea what kind of pipes there are behind the wall.)
2. How to enclose the shower- glass block and a shower door, all glass, something curved etc. (Someone suggested making it a wet room, but soggy toilet paper just turns me right off plus I have 2 little kids and I can see them slipping and falling.)
3. What else do I need to think about?
Thank you!!!!!!
