Hope this is off-topic enough for The Lounge! Just wanted to show off a bathroom remodel that I just finished. I wasn't posting or flying much recently because of this damn bathroom! FYI, my wife and I bought this house about 7 years ago and I've slowly been remodeling parts of it. It was built in 1901... old Craftsman house. Has counter-weighted windows too, and we're restoring them, the original trim, etc.
Anyhow, you can imagine the plumbing they used 115 years ago... pipe joints were sealed with lead and oakum. Drilling out the old lead and tying in to it with new pipes was a @#^&!! I only have a before picture right after the wife and I started gutting it. Tub was on the right, and there was a wall where you see the vertical pipe on the right that separated it from the rest of the bathroom; made it really narrow and tight. The new layout I put the tub at the end, vanity on the right, and opened up the back wall with some big windows to let a lot of light in.
Took me ~3 months because I could only really work on weekends and at night.
Before (sorry it's so dark, but that was part of the problem... tiny window):
After:
Done now! Which is why I started working on the biplane again.
