RE: Let's Remodel A Bathroom!

It is sealed up pretty well. When I get the inside part on (after the ceiling is finished) there shouldn't be too many places where anything can get in. It is metal pipes like duct work and the joints are all taped and sealed shut. I suppose if some dust does work its way in there, it wouldn't be a big deal to take off the inside cover and reach up in it with at feather duster. It is only about 3 ft long so that shouldn't be a problem.

Our friends have had one of these for more than five years and it still works great.

Wow, that light tube is cool. I should put one in my bathroom. (You don't think the landlord would mind, do you?)

I'm sure he wouldn't mind. You can tell him I said it was ok.

You might want to check with the people that live above you though. They might not be real crazy about having that dome thing in the middle of their living room floor.

I knew that, but I thought the visual was funny.

This evening I got the walls around the tub insulated, the tub screwed in place, the little filler wall in front of the tub put in, and some drywall backing put in.






Tomorrow, we'll start wiring.

Wow- computers, music, kites, contruction.  You really are well-rounded and multi-talented.  Looks like things are moving right along.

hey web, is it merely caulk and the weight of the tub and the drain-pipe connection that will seal the tub in place, or are there bolts for it- like with toilet bolts?

JD, it looks like he's got it screwed to the studs and the tub sits flush to the floor. I'm pretty sure he will put up some sort of tub surround or paneling which will cover the screws. Right Web?

The old cast iron tubs just sit in place but they are so heavy they don't move. The fiberglass ones (like this one) sit on the floor, but screw to the studs through that flange around the top edge. Then the drywall and surround will cover that flange and screws so you don't see them.


Edit: Yeah, what Sparky said.

No, this is the first time I've picked up a hammer . . . but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express earlier this year.

Oh, that broken corner?

I should have touched that up in the pic before posting.

That stud is back just a little more than the others. I thought "Just a little more and the flange will pull back . . . just a little more . . . CRAP!

It'll be ok, I will just buy the next size up caulking. Sometimes we all need a little bigger caulk.

Are you going to let Mrs Web use the bathroom when you are finished?

I got the wiring done tonight. Two GFCI outlets, one switch controlling the light over where the vanity will be and the light in the vent, and another switch for the vent fan. No pictures tonight . . . its your typical wire, outlets, and switches.

Well, you gotta remember I'm an amateur at wiring. Mine doesn't look nearly that organized.
