The day has finally come that we are renovating the Master Bath. And yes, as the title suggest, I am attempting to get this all done in one week. I have taken off from work and the wife and kid are staying at the in-laws for the whole week so there should be no distractions. My advice to anyone trying to get this done this quick is PLAN AHEAD and have as much stuff ready to just plug in as possible. I have spent the past few years measuring and remeasuring our house to create an exact copy in sketchup. This has allowed me to pre-build as much stuff as possible and to get an exact count of all materials. We have also made some sacrifices as far as materials go so that they are readily available, and anything that has to be custom ordered was able to already be precisely measured and ordered, knowing that it will fit exactly the way it needs to once it gets here.
Now onto the good stuff, some pics. Here are the existing conditions matched up with the hopeful render. At the end of this process, I will do some Property Brothers style GIFS so I can document the entire transformation.
Entrance into the bathroom
The Vanity, Tub and Shower
The Water Closet, Vanity, and Linen Closet
View from the Water Closet (it is the guest shower right now)
Cabinets and Pocket Door Frame Pre-built
And most importantly, the supplies that are going to get me through this
Now a few particulars. The floor is a wood plank tile from Floor and Decor. The shower is going to be a simple white subway tile with a marble mosaic inlay that matches the floor. The shower enclosure is a kit that comes from Build.com, the exact model escapes me right now but once it arrives I will let you all know. The tub is a Kingston Brass Aqua Eden that I originally found on Way-fair but ended up purchasing through Amazon for almost $100 less. All the cabinets have been custom built my me. I do not know if you all can tell from the entrance photo but there will also be a double pocket door. Right now, I am going to attempt to put a cable and pulley system together for it that I saw on YouTube that allows they to open and close in sync, instead of individually. Hopefully I will have video of that for you all as well.
The schedule is going to go something like this:
Saturday - Demo Day
Sunday - Demo, Plumbing, and Rough Framing (Cabinet sanding and painting at night)
Monday - Plumbing, Electrical, and Drywall (Cabinet sanding and painting at night)
Tuesday - Drywall, Flooring, and Shower Floor (Cabinet sanding and painting at night)
Wednesday - Shower walls, Wainscoting, Cabinet Installation, Floor Grouting, and Countertop Measurements
Thursday - Trim work, Paint Prep, Shower Wall Grouting, First Coat of Paint
Friday - Second Coat of Paint, Light Fixture installation, and Final Clean
Friday afternoon I have to leave for College Station for a wedding so that needs to be the end of the project. The countertop guys need 10 days for fabrication so those wont be installed until the next weekend but if all the above gets done I will still consider this a successful ONE WEEK installation.
And we are off.
