Remodeling and reusing

We are in the process of remodeling the old bathroom. The huge tub surround is out! It was actually built into the room so that was our first challenge. We also removed the closet. That's now been built into the room next door which can now be called a bedroom because it has a closet! Yeah! Unfortunately, that room also still has the bath tub in it!
We've had to build the tub on a bit of a frame because of plumbing issues (the pipes are above the ground level due to the uneven nature of the house. We have also removed the illegal heater in the room and are making that corner into the sink area.

Reuses:
1. We are reusing the old flooring from the living room that was removed to make the other bathroom. This has been stripped and sanded and in some cases glued to make complete boards. These will be used on the wall around the sink after being sealed.

2. We are using some of the wood from the old bathroom structure to build the new structure, even though it is a different size, shape.

3. Closet has been removed and moved to a new room.

The results in both rooms look very promising. The bathroom looks so much bigger! We are going for a spacious spa feel.

Plan on visiting soon to see the results.
