First Day on the Master Bath Remodel
At the end of the day we had managed to remove most of the dry wall. Didn't run into any problems. The next day Alex removed one wall of tile but because the weather was so bad we couldn't dump it out back so that stopped any further work.
The cabinets were easy to remove but the mirror caused a slight delay in our progress. It took quite a bit of fiddling around but we managed to keep it in one piece - the question now is what do we do with it.
We can now see out to the hallway from the door of the bathroom. "Thank you very much" to Elvis who's keeping an eye on us. The toilet will be removed when all the walls are gone. Alex has already capped the pipes so no water can get through.
All in all it was not a bad start to our next home improvement project.

It's a good thing we never made use of our bath tub "time machine", a monstrosity large enough for children to swim laps in. There's not enough time or hot water available to fill this tribute to 1980's excess. According to our general contractor, the massive tub was not up to code. The shut off valves were buried under the tile with no access. Roofing paper and tar were used as a sealing layer beneath the tub and shower, an inappropriate technique for submersive applications like a bath. Even stranger, tiles around the tub had been removed at some point and replaced; it looks like this was done for mice control, since traps/poison were found nearby. Bizzare. The black material around the shower framing was tar, not black mold. There was an unexpected eight-inch by three-foot wall intrusion between the turrent and bathing area. This wasn't in our plan, because the intrusion was hidden behind a floor-to-ceiling cabinet. Since this is a primary load-bearing outer wall it's not moving; the floor plan will be revised, making the turret closet area over a foot bigger and the sink/vanity area equally smaller.

When Greg and I were handed the keys the day after closing, the very first rooms we wanted to tackle were the hall and master bathrooms. We’ve already talked about the hall bathroom, which was very narrow and visually closed off. Let’s just say the main problem in the master bathroom was… quite the opposite.
