Hick used his time at Bargain House wisely. While waiting for the floor in the front bedroom to dry, he and Old Buddy completed the main bathroom.
The shower and fixtures are done.
Here is the door, and the flooring, both untrimmed in this photo. There's the new medicine cabinet.
The new vanity is in place, with the lighting fixtures. The new toilet here was waiting for a wax ring, which Hick just happened to have a spare at home.
Here's the completed main bathroom, except for a cover on the heating/cooling vent in the floor. Hick says they come in a grayish color, but he might paint it brown, to match the trim. I think leaving it gray would be fine, since it would match the flooring. Which Hick says is like the laminate wood flooring, just with different-shaped pieces. It snaps together. Hick said that to move the heating/cooling vent, he would have needed to cut through a floor joist and change the ductwork. This is where the vent was originally, so he left it there.
Anyhoo... considering that the bathroom used to look like THIS:
I think Hick and Old Buddy did a really good job with this room!
What a difference to the bathroom:) I definitely like the new look and I agree with you on the vent color as I think gray would look better with the flooring. Hick and Buddy did a very nice job on that bathroom renovation.
ReplyDeleteHick says that beside the door, where you can't see, there's a little area where he's going to put in metal shelves. The other side of where the shower head and faucet are.
DeleteBig improvement, for sure. I agree. I think the vent cover should remain gray to blend in. It's bad enough these types of vents end up in the worst places sometimes, without it being painted dark brown to accentuate its location. Ranee
ReplyDeleteAt least there's room to put a small bathmat or rug, for stepping out of the tub. Looks like a place between the toilet and vent.
