Greetings all,
My wife and I decided to remodel our bathroom and have just finished our demolition. Basically, we took the old metal-mesh/concrete/tiled walls down and pulled up the floors as well.
So, at this point we have the wall studs and subfloor (1x6 planks) showing and have removed all the fixtures (bathtub, vanities, toilet).
So I have been scouring my books and websites and such but I haven't found a solid agreed-upon order of how to reconstruct the bathroom--basically I need the order of operations of rebuilding so I don't make any stupid workflow mistakes!
We will be using subway tile in the shower/tub alcove and some greenboard i in the other areas of the bathroom. The ceiling is intact and we won't be messing with that. We plan on using 12"x12" slate tiles on the floor
I found this list on a website and was wondering if this is the correct order (is anything missing as well!)?:
1. DEMOLITION
2. ROUGH CARPENTRY
3. PLUMBING ROUGH IN
4. ELECTRICAL
5. INSULATION
6. DRYWALL HANGING
7. DRYWALL FINISH
8. TILEWORK
9. CABNITRY
10. FLOORING
11. FIXTURES (TUB, TOILET, SINK)
We have completed step 1 and 2. I'm good on step 3 and we are not messing with the electric so step 4 is covered.
Also, in regards to step 5, do I want to put insulation on the interior walls or just the one outside wall? And I read one thread that said I should wrap the new tub in insulation. If that is correct do I just use an unfaced fiberglass insulation and wrap it around the tub with twine (that's how it appeared to be in the other article I read). And if so is there an R value I should use?
Thanks in advance!
