In
homes this old you are often forced to dealing
with issues such as old odd sized copper and lead
drain lines which don't connect well to modern
plumbing, old galvanized hot and cold water feeds,
odd sized dimensional lumber, out of code
electrical systems and of course plaster and lath
walls. This home is only about 800 square feet in
total, and this is the only bathroom in the house.
The before was so ugly we didn't even bother to
take a picture of it, but we should have because
the new bathroom is remarkable when you consider
what we had to start with.
Of course another factor is that the rooms are
always extremely small and totally out of square.
Finding a straight wall is practically impossible.
But those are the challenges that you face and we
like to turn challenges into opportunities to do
great things. To create this bathroom we had
to gut the room and install everything new, from
the tub to the toilet, the vanity to the lighting.
The plumbing system and electrical had to be
reworked but the results are a safe and
functioning bathroom that the family can enjoy and
use for many years to come.
