Bathroom Remodel

We spent this last weekend working on our bathroom...what a lot of work!  We have lived in our house for 3 years and the floor under the toilet has been slowly sinking the whole time due to water damage, so we decided it was time to do something about it!  Here is the bathroom before the remodel.  You can't really see it but the back of the toilet is sitting against the wall, not at all where it should be.

 And here is the bathroom floor with all the flooring removed.  Gee, I think it might be molding!  Yuck!!!

 Mark removed all the sub floor and replaced it.  He also anchored up the floor joists with 2x4's to help the floor to remain level.  This is our only bathroom, so Mark worked as fast as he possibly could to get the floor done.  We had all the kids use the bathroom before we took out the toilet and we managed to  get it back in again before anyone needed it again!  Yay!  It took Mark about 6 hours for this part of the remodel, we were up till 1 a.m. on Friday night getting this done.

 We bought a new medicine cabinet and light from the local Habitat for Humanity store.  They sell used items from homes at a deep discount, our new light and cabinet only cost us $29!  Our old medicine cabinet was mounted on the wall, which I never liked.  So, Mark cut out an opening for our new cabinet.  It was very convenient because the new cabinet was the exact size as the old one, and the people before us had not removed the cabinet when they painted.  (Actually they didn't remove anything when they painted so there were all kinds of weird yellow spots on the walls where ever something had been mounted.)  All Mark had to do was cut out where the different colored paint was!

 We also did a lot of painting.  We spray painted the new light fixture and painted the medicine cabinet and vanity cabinet.  We painted the ceiling and walls with Kilz and then with white paint for the ceiling and light blue for the walls.  We put down laminate wood floor.  We were up till midnight Saturday night to get it as done as we could.

We still have a lot to finish, little details but we are very pleased with how it turned out.  Here is the "almost" complete bathroom.

We still need to peel off the strip of caulk tape around the edge of the tub, put up and paint the baseboard, caulk around the tub and baseboard and a few other little things.  I also think we will replace the faucet on the sink because I don't like how it looks in the new bathroom.  We were way under budget so we can splurge a bit on a nice one!  I really Love how it all turned out!
