Good to know, it's in the bathroom that will eventually be the kids bathroom so 99% sure it'll get flooded at some point.

Starting my bathroom next week, turning a seperate water closet and shower/sink room into 1 large bathroom with a big walk in shower.

Ducking bathroom Reno for a small bathroom gonna cost half the price as my entire suite :/

That sounds about right lol

Haven't done much the past bit but been getting some more work done the last couple of days. We had shitty wooden paneling in the family/dining room which we decided to take down and installed new insulation. Just have to drywall, mud and paint and we will be good to go!!

Our new bathroom vanity got dropped off a few days ago, boy did I screw up with that one. I assumed it would be a kit you had to assemble, it turns out it's in 3 boxes. 1 for the mirror, 1 for the counter top, 1 for the entire assembled vanity. I managed to wrestle the mirror upstairs but the rest is occupying half the garage on a double-sized pallet since it's 70+" long and seems to weight about a million pounds.

Lol yea.. where did you order it from? Costco came 100% together top and everything. Luckily we can only fit a smaller vanity.

Here’s what the rooms used to look like, I can’t find a picture of the tub room but you can kind of get the idea with the picture of the water closet:

Tearing out the lathe and plaster and blown in insullation and running new plumbing to move the toilet:

Have the schluter radiant heat system under the penny tiles

Haven't worked on the counters / cabinets lately, but I've been building the dining room table and benches. Top will be live edge, but I haven't bought the slab yet. The wood for the frame and benches came from the historic steam mill here in town.

Turning rough cut lumber into square, clean, lumber makes a bit of a mess...this is from the two 14-foot boards I used for the bench tops.

Finally today, as I was routing the boards for the ends, a clamp slipped and I destroyed one of the bench tops. Sigh. Temporary solution was to cut them shorter, forgo the breadboards, and accept they'll seat two instead of three. Long term they'll likely cup and warp without the breadboards, so at some point I'll have to build new tops at the proper length. Decided it wasn't worth repairing the checking (grey cracks) since they'll be temporary.

Everything should be dry and in the dining room tomorrow...

exposed a spline, eh.

why didn't you get them to take it straight to the bathroom?

Yup. That's on the unplanned "well, I guess they are going to be shorter now" cut. No worries, they'll work for bench tops temporarily, and eventually be repurposed into shop shelving :P

The original plan was to toss it in the spare bedroom next to the bathroom since the bathroom isn't gutted yet, but it was just one guy by himself and apparently they only do ground-level delivery to the garage or the side of the house or someplace like that. It's all in cardboard so no way was it gonna sit outside in the fall.

Almost there! Have a shower back at least

looks good, i like the dark grout colour.....but that paint looks pink??? or is it just the lights you have?

it looks awesome

Paint looks white to me. Now the question is, is the shoe white and pink, or teal and grey?

It’s all white eggshell paint I think the angle just makes it look like that, there are 3 6” LED pots at 3000k so it’s all pretty white lol

schluter kit? Hondaracer

For which part? Used the schluter in floor heating system then it was all custom cuts on those end caps, the niche was just framed with board then tiled no pre built schluter box etc.

The shower base and the walls.

Shower base is actually a custom base made by a company in Edmonton. My contractor has a contact where you give the guy the measurements and the drain location and they build the base custom and handle all the sloping etc so all you have to do is tile to the drain

Also however the drain connects is rated for high rise installation so apparently it’s never suppose to leak the way everything overlaps etc.

Could get the contact if anyone is interested

^
can you PM me the contact info please

want to see how much it is compare to the schluter kit

if i never use a laundry basin and i want more room in the laundry area, should i replace the basin with a smaller sink or remove/cap? i read it's not a good idea to just cap due to stale water in unused piping?

Please keep posting your progress. Reno porn is the best and some of you have nice workshops!

May as well post a small update, decided to skim all of our ceilings and with that we decided to take out all the drywall since there was old gross wallpaper on it so why fuck around. Going to put some soundproof insulation in as well which will be nice.

Have any of you used something like this UTile system? It seems like you don't have to do any waterproofing which I think would convince the wife we can DIY this and save some money. She wants to hire someone to do the showers to ensure the waterproofing is done right, but if I can just mount this right over wood there's no worries about that.
