Old House Complete Bath Remodel

This week we worked on a bathroom in a circa 1900 house in Logan. The photos of the existing bath below show the fixtures were originally placed in awkward positions to have a shower in the bath.

We moved the plumbing for the tub from the left side of the room to the right and moved the plumbing for the lavatory and toilet from right to left.

Dealing with a house of this age presents interesting challenges, such as dealing with cast iron drain pipes, and plaster-lath walls.

Below the photos of the reconfigured bath show the new drywall, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, window, and floor.

Not readily seen is the upgraded wiring, new PEX water supplies, PVC drains, and heat runs.

The dry wall has been completed at our remodel at Clear Creek Cottage. The deck is also finished with the post and beam porch and the roof is underway.

Clear Creek Cottage Remodel

We've began to work on a new Remodel project at Clear Creek Cottage, a cabin in the Hocking Hills area.
The project entails building a new front deck with a post and beam roof, shingling the porch and house, and completing drywall repairs throughout the house.

Odds and Ends

Over the last few days I haven't posted because we've been working to finish up some of the various stages that I've already talked about. I thought I would take this opportunity to share some pictures for those of you interested. The Wall Sconces came in and were installed, the drywall in the kitchen has been hung and taped, and we've began to install the siding on the back of the house.

Drywall

Today we began to hang some of the drywall at our new build in Nelsonville. Most homes today have all the walls and ceilings finished with drywall. Our home owners have opted to only use drywall on only about 15% of the walls and ceilings. Normally I contract out drywall work, but with such a small amount we decided to tackle it ourselves. Its not one of my favorite parts of the building process to do but it is satisfying because when the drywall is up the framing starts to look like rooms.
