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.

Floor Tile in Lakefront Bathroom

The drywall on our lakefront remodel is finished, sanded, and primed. Today we installed the tile floor. The owners chose a 1" hexagon tile that we applied over 1/4 " concrete backer board.

Lakefront Bathroom Remodel Continues

The work continues at our lake front remodel. A new 34"x 60" fiberglass shower has been installed to replace the old 32"x 32" unit. These showers are designed to fit in bathrooms that have a standard 5' tub, but worked out great in our new design.


The walls have been insulated and drywalled and the first 2 coats of joint compound have been applied.

Bathroom Remodel on a Lakefront Cabin

This week we started work on a Bathroom Remodel on a Lakefront Cabin in Hide-A-Way Hills. The owners requested a larger shower along with adding a laundry. Because of the age and original use of the cabin, there is not a current laundry. Cabins which are missing laundry facilities are not uncommon in HAH. This is the second laundry addition since March.























The pictures taken at the beginning of the project display the old fixtures , paneling, and the original use of space. By expanding the bath area into a small hallway and reconfiguring the two closets, we were able to create an area to add a stackable washer-dryer.

In our demo, we thought we were removing the original bathroom in the cabin. However, in talking with a long time member of Hide-A-Way Hills, and previous owner of the cabin, I learned he had upgraded this bathroom many years ago. I had never heard of such an item, but it appears the cabin was built with a destroy-let, a toilet without water that used propane burners to incinerate the waste.

Bathroom Remodel on Tillamook

After the kitchen and living room were completed on Tillamook the customers decided to revamp the bath as well.



We chose a 12"x 12" ceramic tile for the floor.

6"x6" ceramic tile was used on the vanity top with a 3"x12" back splash and a 6" rounded trim edge. We reused the existing sink but dressed it up with a new faucet.

To tie the room together we continued the same 6"x6" tile around the existing tub-shower.

Heated Tile Floor

Today, we started a bathroom tile floor project on Taos Lane in Hide-A-Way Hills. The interesting aspect of this project is the under-tile heating system we installed. The system utilizes a heating grid which is placed in the mortar, along with a thermostat mounted on the wall to heat the floor to the customers comfort level. Please feel free to contact me for an estimate for a tile floor or any other project.
