We bought a house about 3 years ago knowing we wanted to upgrade the master bathroom (among other things) and we finally have gotten around to getting it going. I took a week off from work to get this thing kickstarted. As we all know, it's been a slower process than I'd have liked. Included in this project is the walk-in closet that's off the bathroom.
Part 1 - Demolition
We figured out the corner shower had a small leak pretty soon after we moved in. I thought it was maybe the old cracking caulk and some damaged grout, so I had re-caulked and patched up the grout. No dice as we still noticed wet floor grout outside the shower after almost every shower. The corner tub was a jetted tub that spewed all sorts of nasty stuff out when we tested it, plus the tub was so deep, it took an insane amount of water to fill it. We at least had a new vanity from when we bought the house. The old vanity had so much water damage, it was essentially unusable so we got a credit from the sellers to get our current vanity.
Pre-demo view
Shower door and glass down
Last large project like this was pre-kid, now it has a 9-year old involved
Tub surround and shower bench out
Shower tile out
Old fiberglass shower pan out - confirmed the water had to have been leaking under the pan given the roots creeping onto the floor
Floor tile mostly gone - thankfully the tile install wasn't the best and the tile came up extremely easily
Ended up cutting the old tub into a couple of pieces to make it easier to get it out
Tub out and at this point, much of the demo was done
