A Tiled Bathroom
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009
Finally getting around to writing about this job. After a slowdown over the winter (after the crash), things picked up again in the spring and we’ve been going ever since.
The tile is Spanish. The primary color is a dark, cobalt blue. The accent color adobe.
The job came out rather well given that tile is very unforgiving when it comes to irregularly shaped rooms. And nothing about this room was square! The floor fell 1-1/4″ from one corner to the opposite corner. Both walls headed in different directions, the opposite wall went in a third direction, and none of the walls save the exterior wall was plumb. Even given all that we managed to get it to come out decently. The owners were pleased.
Here are some more before and after pictures (some are a little out of focus, sorry!):
The rat infested insulation behind the old fiberglass shower surround.
The old floor and remains of the old shower, surround removed. Work in progress.
The old plumbing and framing for the linen closet. Entrance was in the hall.
Other end of the “slipper” claw foot and tile backsplash.
The new cabinet. That’s natural birch.
Finally, a new low-E double insulated, double hung window with natural birch trim
