Bathroom Remodel Update

[Jeffrey Makiel]

Here's an update on a very slow project. I'm remodeling my bathroom and fabricated the vanity and mirror surround. The surround is up, and the tiling has begun. The CAD pictures show the desired outcome.

Also shown is an interior window that has a grill on each side made from poplar. The center diamond is silver leaf.

Wow, that medicine cabinet is gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing the vanity when your done.

That bathroom is going to look first class...

Excellent job!

[Glenn Clabo]

All I can say is WOW! Nice design...and clearly excellant execution.

That's really coming along wonderfully, Jeff. I really appreciate how you've brought this from concept through actually construction, too. It's helpful to understand just what goes into a 100% custom project like this.

Thanks for the wonderful replies. Woodworking may take a back seat while tiling is happening. My brothers are doing the tiling, but they took over the shop for the wet saw. It's simply too cold outside.

Beautiful work in every respect: design, tile, woodworking.

jeff, i love yuengling beer. wish i could get it here in ct. i always pick up a case on my summer golf trip to pa. oh yea nice tile job by the way. are you going over plaster?

[Todd Bin]

Ditto on the Yuengling.

[Matt Crew]

I do not have the ability to convey just how beautiful that project is turning out.
Very nice work.

I agree with everthing that has been said, it is totally out of this world. If you are not in the construction business you should be. Barry Bruner

Once again, thanks for the encouragement.

Fred...the old tiles were affixed over a wet bed of cement that is about 1-1/2" thick. The cement was applied over wire lattice that was nailed to the wall studs. It is straight as an arrow (talk about old craftsmanship!). Needless to say, it would be very difficult to remove, however, it makes for a nice waterproof and solid base for the new tiles. The original tile job was circa 1952.

I forgot to mark the location of the studs before tiling. The console cabinet was originally to be hung off the wall only. However, regardless of the wood studs, it's weight will likely force me to make some wood feet that I will probably turn on a lathe.

By the way Yuengling beer is delicious! But, I must admit, I drink all brands as evident by my big belly.

Update pic of the wall, and a pic of the vanity (minus the top) as it awaits for the tiling to be completed...
