This reno is my kids shower.

Pictures for some reason are 90*

Demo complete, shortened a duct run to remove the bulkhead from the shower area. Extended a duct run to an upper floor bedroom.

Poured leveling cement on the floor. Now wait for it to cure.

Finally, now just have to wait for the thin-set to harden, usually 24 hrs.. Then time to grout.

My daughter is bringing in a professional to do the caulking, that is one thing I can never get to look neat.

Grout work is done and after the caulking gets done, ill be back to mount the shower system.

Holes drilled for shower system to hang and plumbed. 

My daughter was like, yes now I can stop using the tub upstairs and shower 😬😬

Got the shock of my life when I started to dismantle the vanity and drain.

The drain was not even glued in, the bathroom always had a sewer stink to it but we could not find where it was coming from.

The complete drain practically fell off when I was trying to cut it out.

Fell out in one piece 🫨

Final touches done, just need to fix the drywall in the next week or so.

The electrical outlet had to be moved up for the backsplash. At the same time I brought it up to code with a GFCI.

I swear. The day I'm able to do this, it's over for everyone. 😂

I had to call the carpenter to repair my door lock yesterday lol. It's so tricky.

@trueconfidant123

Years of experience 🤪😁 and all it cost my daughter was some meals. 😊🤗

I enjoyed doing this project.

On to the next, one of my neighbors has a pesky water leak on a fairly new shower reno but for some reason does not want to call that company back. This one is going to be tricky.

Thank you, hopefully I can inspire someone to give it a go 🤗
Maybe not in as much depth, but at least to try some DYI.
