My last project was gutting a half bath and turning it into a 3/4 bath with shower for my brother Clare so that he can skip the stairs to the 2nd floor bathroom which is tough to access since the stroke that put him in a wheelchair. The stroke was in November and his daughter has been kind, taking care of him. The plan is to make his home accessible again to him.
The before on the left, the job as in it's current place on the right.
I can't lift the countertop and carry it out, so a sledgehammer to break it and make it easier to carry.
The wall heater is located where the shower needs to go. The electrical box is unmarked, so a non-contact voltage tester lets me know which breaker to flip before removing it.
The floor is out of level, a home built on ancient ocean bed, very little support below.
The pan shimmed to level, then lifted back up to add the piles of mortar, the pan squished down, lathing screws to hold it in place through the pre-drilled holes.
