The project has slowed down a lot lately but is sort of getting back on track. My biggest trouble has been the drain. This bathroom is downstream from the kitchen by about 30 feet so I thought all that would be needed is to redo about a 4' section of pipe underneath the shower drain itself. Then I noticed that in this area water drains uphill.
In a nutshell I ended up having to rework the entire section from a bit beyond this bathroom all the way to the start of the line to get a good, consistent slope the entire way and that takes a long time to do. Flexing short sections of large diameter pipe is also "fun." So is the stuff that ends up settling out in a section of pipe with no slope.
That stuff is finally done so I'm back above ground. Next steps are to find someone to reglaze the bathtub, work out a couple of issues with the tile design and get it all ordered. I'll probably have to order direct from Daltile since trim pieces are hard to get my hands on otherwise. The vanity also needs a little veneer work and a coat of paint. I want to use oil paint but have never painted a vanity before and am curious how to get it to come out smooth. Maybe a roller is best here?
