Well if it wasnt obvious before this, it should be obvious now, this project wasn't getting done in the original week time line. I am still certain it could have been done, but even all my previous renovation projects did not prepare me for the planning necessary to underake this one. A bathroom has so much more work behind the walls, under the floors, and in the attic than I was used to. When I do our next bathroom, I now know the order of how things need to go to be the most efficicient with my time and avoid multiple trips to the hardware stores each day.
So at the wedding, the wife and I had a nice long talk about the bathroom schedule and it was decided to no longer rush through it because she would be willing to move back in without it being complete. She just needs the majority of the work that creates the most amount of dust done before she moves in. She gave me until Wednesday to get that work done. With the extended schedule, I did not push to get back here from CS that quick, nor did I work myself that late into the night once I started.
FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE (Sorry for not posting these but wedding activities took over the whole weekend)
Sorry for the lack of in progress pictures. At this point in the week I was more interested and getting as much stuff installed as possible than keeping you all updated with progress pics.
The tub, shower knee wall, the shower drain assembly, and the shower pan got installed Thursday night/early Friday morning. Also the shower drywall had to be installed so I would know the correct size to cut the pre-slope.
ONE WEEK UPDATE (Sunday evening)
The rest of the drywall for the main bathroom was installed. When I went to finish the toilet room drywall, I ran out of drywall screws so I just called it an early night since the hardware stores were already closed. Any of the gaps you see in the drywall are getting covered up by either molding or paneling.
From this point on I should be able to get some good pics because things will be moving slightly slower. I still hope to have everything except the countertops complete by this weekend. Given how I am now back at work, and only doing this in the evenings, I figure that is roughly 3 extra full days of work, which would of meant had the wedding not been taking place, and I would have planned better, than the ORIGINAL schedule of Saturday to Sunday might have actually been possible. I thought I could shrink the schedule down to accomodate the wedding but obviously I was mistaken.
On tap for this evening, tap and mud, Ditra underlayment, first mud sanding, and Kerdi the shower. I will be posting all my updates from this point on around this same time every morning so. ONE WEEK + 1 to come tomorrow.
