Sorry for disappearing the last two weeks. I had a very thorough and detailed plan to get the bathroom completed, and this post was supposed to be making its debut much much sooner. That was until our house was ravaged by some ungodly disease that made gross stuff happen to your body (aka Norovirus). Let’s just say, that new toilet bowl and I have gotten to know each other pretty well, and I’m thankful it was brand new and clean and not grossing me out as much as the old one would have been. Can I just say that I am so excited to share the final results of this bathroom renovation! Dudes, this is for sure is the biggest job I have taken on thus far, and it harbored the biggest amount of unknowns. A few years ago I would’ve only wished and dreamed that I could actually renovate a bathroom myself. But after building my skills along the way this project didn’t feel as intimidating as it did a few short years ago. Let’s start at the beginning. In June of 2015 the basement renovation began. We had contractors in our house for eight weeks during the summer and during that time they gutted the basement, installed new electrical, tore up the floor, installed new plumbing, and framed and dry-walled the space. That plan included a rough in for a basement bathroom, however the budget did not allow for completion of that project until a later date. Prior to the basement renovation there had been a bathroom in the basement, but it left a lot to be desired. The shower was inoperable due to a bad tile job on the floor and there were general creepy vibes and disgustingness. The new basement floor plan allowed for a larger area dedicated to a double sink, a much larger shower stall, and a small amount of tucked away storage for linens and such. Floor Plan I had basically designed the basement in early 2015, I knew what sink I wanted to install, where the lights would hang, the mirror would go, and the closet shelving would reside. I needed to have the contractors rough in plumbing to the exact places I needed it, electrical so that I could have pendants flank the mirror perfectly, and an accurate description of where framing needed to go for the shower and closet. To […]

Welp, here we are, week 11. I’ve worked a few hours nearly every day trying to get to a point where I could call the tile installation officially complete. I cut the last tile yesterday afternoon and I immediately downed a bottle of champagne upon completion (I wish). I am so happy to have made it to this point. Tiling the floor has had it’s challenges. Thankfully the floor tile is rather large so it probably went much faster than if I had used a smaller sized tile. The whole process takes quite a bit of work. To install the cement tiles the manufacturer (clé tile) recommends adding thinset to the surface to be tiled, as well as back buttering the tile, but before back buttering you need to dip the tile in clean water for a few seconds and then wait a minute for the water to absorb into the tile as to not dilute the thinset. Lots of rules, huh? I would say it takes me somewhere around three or four minutes to install each tile, and double that for tiles that involve cuts. Now you can understand why in a weeks time I have only gotten this far. I tiled the floor in five separate segments, and if I had to do it all over again I would’ve tried to do only two or three. I usually only have a few hours here or there between dropping kids off at school and doing that other mom stuff that I am responsible for doing. Because I was tiling in small chunks, I began to notice that every time I came back to tiling, there would be something from the previous session that I wish I could’ve changed. Unfortch for me these suckers were not moving. A little tug here, and a little nudge there would’ve made all the difference, and would have left me with evenly spaced tiles that any obsessive compulsive type would appreesh. This isn’t an absolutely perfect tile job, there are a few larger than normal gaps between some of the tile, luckily I am pretty sure only me and the rest of the internet will know this little secret. Anyways, you guys will have to forgive the visible dust and grime in the photos. I still need to clean up all the subway tile grout lines as well as all the loose thinset crumbles […]

New bathroom in basement…
Heya! Oh my geezus (Gus’ latest catch phrase)! Here we are at week 10! It’s been so long since the last update, I feel so guilty. The holidays threw a wrench in my plans so we will just ignore them, and not even count them as part of my timeline. We’ll just skip right over Christmastime and begin week 7 right after the New Year. Can I just say again that I am soooooo looking forward to wrapping this up! At the start of week 7, I was still waiting for the floor tiles to be delivered from Clé, and the only job I could work on was that one thing thing that I was trying to avoid at all costs. Lemme just say that grouting can go jump off a bridge and die. It wrecks your shoulders, is incredibly messy, and it somehow can make an hour seem longer than even the least enjoyable church sermon of your youth. With a lot of focused meditation, I got my mind right, and just did it. Over the course of 2 or 3 afternoons I managed to grout the entire shower including the shampoo nook. You may have noticed that I grouted everything except the bottom 1/3 of the shower. My plan is to finish tiling the shower pan, and then finish the subway tiling and grout after. The cement hexagon tile needs room to expand and contract, so having the subway tile (on the wall) float “on top” of the cement tile (as opposed to butting up to it) seemed like the better move. *Technical writing is not my strong suit. After dousing myself repeatedly (with all my clothes on) from the shower head, I was able to install our brand new sparkling shower fixtures! Everything works and no leaks! And how about that setup? I really love everything about the Kohler Purist line, it’s able to be both modern and traditional at the same time (which is exactly what I need in this new basement bathroom of this old house). The grout still needs to be cleaned up, the tiles still need to be sealed, and the corners need to be caulked — but we’re getting there! Here’s when it starts to get good. Week 9 the floor tile finally arrives. It happened on a super snowy day and my delivery guy could only drop the palette in the […]
