Basement Bathroom underway

Here's the bathroom we are currently adding to the basement; where Amanda's room is.  Our first order of business was to cut into the basement foundation for the drainage.  Then, we hired my brother Robert to stud in the walls and run the plumbing.

 David put in the insulation and ran the wiring.

Jim, David's dad, was very gracious and faithful to tape, mud and sand.  He did a GREAT job!

 The vanity is going to be on the left and cabinets will be where the holes are.  We had to leave that area accessible in order to access water shut-off, meter, and  main drain pipe.

 Walls primed.

We went with stick-down tile.  It was super fun to put down and fairly easy!  The open space ahead is where the vanity is going.

This empty cove is for the toilet. The shower is on the right side of the wall and the access panel (concealed with beadboard) is on the left.

We were eating so many of our meals out on the deck that David decided to build a picnic table. He did a great job!

Our first painting project. This is mine and David's room. Before: There was a greenish border on top and the white wall with the door wasn't here when we bought the house.  Robert put it up and Jim sheetrocked and mudded it while we were at the beach.

The pictures don't show very well the popcorn with glitter ceilings.  Thankfully that scraped off very easily.

After: We have a new fan and have been given carpet that we'll be installing before to long.  I'll post those pics later.  David calls this our "blue jean teddy bear" room. :)  It's a lot easier to look at anyway. :)
