1924... bathroom remodel

I wish those prices were still in effect.

I like the 1924 fernco in the second pic. Looks as good as new!

And it looks like you've already got a shower. Just turn the white valve in the last pic!

Shoot! I didn't think about that. Could have showered while sitting
on the toilet. -H

Back from the rabbit hole.

Sorry I haven't kept current with project development but I've been too
busy to even download images. Just a few details to attend to and this
project will be but a bad memory. Compared to my kitchen reno, this
was a B#%$h! (four pics max per post , What gives there?)

More.

more still...

Lastly but not leastly..

Nice job. For the record I think that has to be the smallest 3piece bath I have seen.

Hah. You've just made me fell better about my bathroom reno. I think I'll get back to work now. Good luck, although you sound a lot more experienced than I am. I'll check back for your completed photos

A few thoughts on the project:

With all the continual hits to this "1924" thread I suppose
I should add a few notes before I slip into forgetfulness.

I LOVE Sharkbite fittings. So versatile, easy and in some situations
cost effective compared to traditional ways. Embrace technology.
Remember copper solder was way futuristic in the beginning.I trust
it 100%.

I LOVE Easyboard. Light, great for shimming, screeding, incredible
versatility , I can't say enough good things about this product.
CBU Will die a slow death as this product becomes extruded from
recycled product. I've seen the future and it is here, now.

I LOVE Fernco couplings. They think of all the angles. Wrap your
mind around their endless possibilities.

I LOVE other Blogs such as Brownstoner.com and a few others I've misplaced. When the going gets tough, refer to others
struggles. Misery loves company.

I LOVE dumpsters due to the multitude of construction in my city.
Waste is a horrible thing. Salvage is a blessing.

Least of all I wish to thank Terry for this site and all others for
their contributions which sustained me during this solo expedition.


Thanks all, Hal

Wow, nice job! I'm working on a very similar project and I hope it turns out as nice.

Mine's a 4' x 8' bathroom in a Victorian-era house, which we are renovating and restoring so it fits the style of the rest of the house. Like you, I am going with the small black and white hex tiles for the floor, and white subway tiles for the walls. But our bathroom will only have a shower stall (34" x 48"). The toilet and sink are positioned the same as yours.

BX stories

When I demoed my bathroom, an ancient light fixture dropped down that someone had left up on the ceiling after the last reno.

I found the switch in the header over the door.

All still wired and working.

So embarrassed.

I just went back and re-read my last post.

I most certainly did not mean to say "least of all" when thanking
Terry and Jim. I meant to say MOST of all. Sorry for that oversight. -Hal
